Job description

At HCRG Care Group, we believe that safe, high-quality care is underpinned by excellent clinical leadership, strong governance and a relentless focus on learning and improvement. We are now seeking an experienced and credible Resuscitation Lead to play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering resuscitation practice across our organisation.

This is a highly influential role, offering the opportunity to lead the strategic development, implementation and assurance of resuscitation training and standards across a diverse range of services. Working closely with senior clinical leaders, educators and operational teams, you will provide expert leadership and advice to ensure best practice is embedded and patient safety remains paramount.

No two days will be the same. You may be contributing to governance and assurance activity, supporting services to improve compliance, shaping training approaches, or advising on national guidance and quality improvement initiatives. You’ll thrive in a role that requires visibility, collaboration and the confidence to influence across complex clinical systems.

If you’re a proactive resuscitation professional who combines strong clinical expertise with the ability to lead, support and challenge at all levels, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact at scale and help drive consistently high standards of care.

Main duties of the job

As the Resuscitation Lead, you will:

• Provide strategic and professional leadership for resuscitation practice across HCRG Care Group, ensuring safe, high-quality and compliant clinical care across all services.
• Lead the development, implementation and ongoing review of the organisation’s resuscitation strategy, policies and procedures, ensuring alignment with national guidance, best practice and regulatory requirements.
• Oversee the governance and assurance framework for resuscitation, including audit, incident review, learning dissemination and continuous quality improvement.
• Ensure the effective delivery and quality assurance of resuscitation training programmes, including Basic Life Support, Immediate Life Support and other relevant training pathways, maintaining high levels of compliance and clinical confidence.
• Act as the organisation’s subject matter expert for resuscitation, providing specialist advice and guidance to senior clinicians, operational leaders and multidisciplinary teams.
• Work collaboratively with clinical education teams, service leads and governance colleagues to embed consistent standards and improve outcomes across diverse care settings.
• Lead the review and implementation of resuscitation-related equipment, resources and processes, ensuring they are fit for purpose, safe and consistently available.
• Support services in responding to resuscitation-related incidents, complaints or regulatory enquiries, ensuring robust investigation, learning and assurance.
