Job description

Overview

We are seeking a dynamic, proactive, and values-driven Diabetes Nurse Manager to lead the strategic development and continuous improvement of diabetes services across our organisation in a non-clinical nursing leadership role.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity for a senior healthcare professional with a strong track record in leadership, transformation, quality improvement, and operational delivery. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams, system partners, and commissioners to shape and implement services that are safe, effective, equitable, and responsive to the needs of people living with diabetes.

While a working knowledge of diabetes pathways is beneficial, you do not need to be a clinical expert. What matters is your ability to lead change, deliver complex projects, and ensure governance, safety, and performance are at the heart of service delivery.

If you’re a driven and compassionate nursing leader ready to transform diabetes services and influence positive change at scale, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the development, implementation, and evaluation of specialist diabetes services to ensure high quality, evidence-based care.
• Provide expert clinical guidance and strategic direction, working closely with senior leadership, NHS commissioners, and external stakeholders to shape service priorities.
• Maintain clinical oversight to ensure safe, effective, and patient-centred diabetes care, managing processes for assessment, diagnosis, treatment, referral, follow-up, and discharge.
• Ensure all patients are appropriately assessed for comorbidities, concurrent medications, and risk factors before initiating diabetes treatment or therapies.
• Ensure staffing is in line with Trust policy.
• Champion a culture of learning and quality improvement in the clinical area.
• Work in partnership with hospital leadership, commissioners, primary care networks (PCNs), and patient advocacy groups to enhance service accessibility and efficiency.
• Oversee and support clinical research projects, service evaluations, and quality improvement initiatives to advance diabetes care.
