• Guide and approve costings for Complex Care packages and assess new business opportunities.
• Identify opportunities to grow and develop Complex Care services, supporting regional performance and profitability.
• Ensure policies and procedures are reviewed with QA and aligned to regulatory requirements and latest NICE and NMC guidance.
• Champion a strong culture of clinical governance, quality and continuous improvement across your region.

What you’ll bring

• A current NMC PIN (Adult) and strong, up-to-date clinical expertise.
• Experience working with complex clinical needs and delegated nursing tasks.
• Confidence supporting, training and influencing others in a multi-disciplinary environment.
• A strong understanding of clinical governance, regulation and quality frameworks.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Commercial awareness, with the ability to balance quality care and business sustainability.
• A proactive, flexible mindset and the ambition to shape and develop a specialist clinical role.
