Are you looking for a rewarding career path where you can make a difference? If so, KCHFT’s Prevention, Inequalities and Children’s Specialist Directorate would like to hear from you. As a Clinical Lead, you will lead the delivery of identified programmes within our Healthy Child 5‑19 portfolio, including the KCHFT’s Immunisation programme to children and adults across Kent and Medway, and the trust’s internal flu vaccination programmes. You will be part of an enthusiastic and passionate team dedicated to keeping the population safe and well, now and in later life, by protecting them against common infections and disease. You’ll provide clinical judgement and leadership to support teams to safely deliver early intervention activities including routine immunisations in a variety of settings, making sure that our communities are protected. Building good relationships with local schools and partners within Kent and Medway is a key part of this role.
What will the role involve?
* Provide clinical leadership across the service.
* Lead the achievement of key performance indicators for the service area, including quality, risk management, governance, workforce and financial measures; establish robust monitoring, analysing data and producing reports.
* Demonstrate a strong focus on quality of the service user experience in the way services are designed and delivered, with clear processes in place for addressing any risks or issues that impact on this.
* Ensure that local and national best practice is shared and applied across teams and that learning from regulatory visits, audits and clinical reviews is embedded into team practice.
* Have line‑management responsibility for your direct reports, including recruitment, absence management, supervision and appraisals; ensure a consistent supervision framework and equitable people‑management processes across your portfolio and that teams are suitably resourced.
