The post holder will provide clinical and professional leadership to the team, based on evidence based practice, whilst ensuring that all internal and external delivery targets are met. The post holder will work as part of the senior leadership team and will ensure systems align with the professional standards for registration.

The post holder will have significant paediatric nursing experience, including both acute and community. The post holder will demonstrate high level, expert clinical skills and knowledge.

A key role for the post holder will be leading and implementing service developments to drive forward future business for the service. The post holder will undertake service developments to support the on-going development of the Children's Packages of Care team.
