Clinical Lead

Are you a compassionate leader with a passion for improving health outcomes for children, young people, and families?

If so, this could be the perfect role for you.

We’re looking for a Clinical Lead to provide expert leadership within our Public Health Nursing Service in Tower Hamlets. In this role, you’ll oversee the implementation and delivery of high-quality public health programmes (Healthy Child Programme, sexual health, substance misuse etc) and interventions, ensuring children and young people receive the care, guidance, and support they need to thrive.

You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of community nursing, leading on service quality, safeguarding, and clinical governance while ensuring staff receive the supervision and training they need to excel. You’ll also collaborate with schools, youth services, and healthcare professionals, ensuring services are integrated, effective, and responsive to the needs of the community.

Your leadership will drive innovation, service improvements, and data-led decision-making, helping to create lasting, positive change in the lives of young people. This is a unique opportunity to inspire, support, and make a meaningful difference in a role that is as rewarding as it is impactful.

Your leadership can transform lives. Join us in shaping a service that empowers children and young people to thrive. If you're ready to lead with passion, drive meaningful change, and be part of a team making a real difference, apply today!

You are an experienced healthcare professional, ready to take on a role that makes a real impact. You thrive in a dynamic environment, where you can influence change, support teams, and drive high-quality service delivery.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• A Registered Nurse qualification with a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse (SCPHN) qualification.

• At least three years’ experience working in a community health setting with children, young people, and families.

• Proven leadership and management experience, with the ability to motivate and develop teams to achieve the best outcomes.

• A strong background in safeguarding and child protection, ensuring high standards of care and compliance with relevant legislation.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, to engage with partner agencies and multidisciplinary teams.

• A proactive, values led & solution-focused mindset, with the ability to lead on service improvements and adapt to changing needs.

• Experience using data analysis to inform strategic decision-making and drive meaningful change.

• The ability to travel across Tower Hamlets to provide leadership and support across different service locations.

A management or leadership qualification, along with experience in project leadership & service user engagement, would be an advantage but is not essential.

This is your opportunity to lead a service that truly changes lives, inspires teams, shapes the future of children’s health, and make a lasting impact!
