Summary
Are you an experienced clinical leader who can lead complex change, provide clear clinical assurance, and influence practice across services? We are recruiting a Trust-wide Senior Clinical Lead to provide senior clinical leadership for an integrated portfolio of clinical pathway transformation and clinical system optimisation, with a current focus on Patient First (inpatient pathway transformation) and Rio ReCHARGED.
This is a Trust-wide role operating through formal governance and working closely with the Chief Clinical Information Officer (CCIO). Within the agreed portfolio scope, you will act as the Trust’s senior clinical voice for clinical assurance and arbitration, ensuring that agreed pathway standards and user-centred clinical workflows drive clinical system design and configuration, not the other way round.
You will work closely with clinical networks, programme teams, digital colleagues and improvement teams to ensure changes are safe, consistent and workable. You will provide formal clinical assurance at key decision points, including recommendations for go/no-go decisions at agreed assurance checkpoints, and you will require proposals to be amended or paused where they do not meet agreed clinical safety and quality requirements. Where required, you will support formal approval of Trust-wide standards and policies through the Clinical Standards Group.

We actively challenge discrimination and welcome applications from all, regardless of age, disability (including those with experience of accessing or caring for someone who has accessed mental health or learning disability services), ethnicity, gender, religion, belief, or sexual orientation.
