Overview:

Our client is a quality-led independent care provider with a strong reputation for clinical excellence and continuously raising standards. They are now looking to build the profile and reach of their neurological rehabilitation services. The group is small by design, which means leaders are hands-on and visible. Quality is the focus of everything they do, supported by:

• A group clinical governance system, with home-level governance feeding into a group meeting that looks for trends and improvement every month
• Regular regional manager audits with follow-up action plans
• A full-time in-house trainer and a significant investment in staff development, including specialist clinical training and recognised qualifications

The leadership team is clear that growth only happens when quality is secure. Occupancy and services expand when the standard of care has been proven.

Role:

This is a newly created, specialist clinical position at the heart of the neuro service. You will use your complex care knowledge, particularly in neuro rehabilitation and recovery, to help shape how the service develops. Your key responsibilities will be:

• Providing clinical leadership to the neuro service, supporting staff to deliver care to a consistently high standard.
• Working closely with Nurses, Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists as part of a multidisciplinary team, including supporting staff development alongside therapy colleagues.
• Supporting residents towards the next step in their recovery, whether that is returning home or moving into the community.
• Helping to progress and promote the service, and to grow occupancy over the next 12 months without compromising quality.
• Contributing your clinical insight to service development discussions, including what is working well, what equipment is needed and what could be added. The senior team will draw on your experience, although final decisions will not always sit with you.
• Playing an active part in clinical governance, audits and action planning.

The team is currently small but will grow as occupancy increases. There is also scope to be involved in the exciting exploration into how the service could develop to support people further along their rehabilitation pathway in the future.

This is a rare chance to continue growing as a clinician while gaining real insight into how a service is built and developed.

Candidate Requirements:

• Clinical experience and knowledge in complex care, ideally within neuro-ABI, with a good understanding of rehabilitation and recovery.
• Experience of, or a real appetite for, leading and developing a team.
• A collaborative approach, with the ability to work effectively alongside Nurses, OTs, physiotherapists and the wider MDT.
• The drive and commitment to advocate for the service and help move it forward.
• A commitment to quality, governance and continuous improvement.

We welcome applications from experienced clinical managers, and from clinicians with significant neurological service experience who are looking to step into a leadership role. If you have the clinical capability and professional drive, you do not need to be a finished article.

Process:

• Initial interview with lead consultant Ashley Collishaw.

• Followed by two-stage interview process
• The first stage is a conversation with the home manager and regional manager.
• The second is with senior leaders within the group.
