Are you an experienced Clinical Quality Lead / Clinical Quality Manager / Clinical Governance Manager with a background in social care? Do you want to work for a company that supports their staff well with competitive salaries, industry-leading benefits, well-resourced services, and a supportive working environment? If so, this Clinical Quality Lead role might be right up your street. This charity delivers high-quality person-centred residential, nursing, and supported living services that make a vital difference to the lives of people with disabilities.

The aim of the Clinical Quality Lead role is to lead, support, and improve the clinical governance across the services. You’ll need to be a Registered Nurse with an NMC pin to take up this role and have clinical leadership or management experience too.

On offer is a salary of £53,755 - £56,454 dependent on experience, a great benefits package which includes 25+8 days annual leave, pension, employee assistance and well-being programme, life assurance, occupational sick pay, and 45p a mile. My client is fantastic to work for; they are a mindful employer who recognizes the importance of mental well-being, and they have a supportive senior management team.

The Clinical Quality Lead responsibilities include:

1. As the lead of clinical governance and quality, develop, support, and embed clinical governance processes across the organisation’s care and nursing-based services.
2. Scope out and identify areas for clinical improvements within the organisation and develop existing or new policies and procedures that effectively support this.
3. Lead, oversee, evaluate, and develop clinical practice across the organisation.
4. Lead on clinical audits and clinical quality improvement plans and ensure that NICE and other clinical guidance alerts are distributed across the organisation.
5. Deliver training as required and source external training providers.
6. Work closely with the operational and quality teams within the organisation.
7. Continue to develop the clinical audit programme across the organisation to understand the effectiveness of its services and areas for improvement and development.

What we’re looking for:

1. It’s ESSENTIAL that you are a qualified nurse with an active NMC pin (RGN/RMN/RNLD/RSCN).
2. Experience in a strategic role, working across a number of different sites within an organisation.
3. Experience of working on policies, developing frameworks for clinical audit, and the ability to utilise current research/findings.
4. Experience in a clinical leadership or management role. You may have worked as a Clinical Lead, Clinical Quality Manager, or Clinical Governance Manager before, but this is not essential.
5. Experience in social care would be desirable but again, not essential.
6. Clear and demonstrable experience of developing systems.
7. Driver’s License and own vehicle - the ability to travel across the UK for meetings and visiting services, and overnight stays where needed.
8. Ability to participate in the senior management on-call rota.
