Deputy Clinical Service Manager (Nurse/Pharmacist only)

As a Deputy Clinical Services Manager, your vital role will involve a wide range of clinical duties, deputising for the Clinical Services Manager and providing day to day leadership within the clinical team, including line management, staff leadership and mentorship.

You will take the lead on harm reduction across the service, supervise and support staff through clinical supervision, appraisals and training, and complete audits to ensure clinical pathways and protocols are high quality, adhered to and continually improved. You will also oversee safe medicines management, including medicines optimisation, clinical checks and controlled drug processes in line with service PGDs/PSDs, maintain high standards of clinical record keeping, support delivery of clinical KPIs and safeguarding, and escalate clinical risks appropriately.

This is a predominantly service-based role, so you will spend most of your time working from our Bi-Borough sites delivering and overseeing face-to-face clinical care, with a portion of your role providing clinical interventions reflecting your clinical skills and expertise.

Working closely with the Clinical Services Manager and the wider senior leadership team, you will have a real opportunity to help shape service delivery and contribute to delivering clinically excellent, CQC-compliant services.

We are particularly keen to hear from registered pharmacists and registered nurses (RGN or RMN). An inspiring role model, well expect you to demonstrate clinical leadership and undertake clinical supervision. Building relationships with colleagues, commissioners and service users alike will be a big part of what you do, so were looking for someone who can confidently engage and influence people.

A working knowledge of substance misuse issues and legislation is desirable as is the ability to recognise indicators of substance misuse and the issues that service users might face. A leadership or management qualification, or a willingness to work towards one, is desirable, and if you are not a qualified NMP we will support you in gaining this qualification.

In addition to the above we are seeking to appoint an individual who can also bring Turning Points core values to the role:

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

Experience
