Are you a senior childrens nurse looking for a Paediatric Clinical Lead role that offers genuine clinical autonomy, a manageable caseload, and an excellent work-life balance?

The Role As a Paediatric Clinical Lead, you will act as the named clinical lead for your allocated packages. You will have protected time for assessments, care planning, and clinical oversight, rather than rota-filling or firefighting shifts.
