Band 8a Service Clinical Manager - 0-5 Localities

The following exciting opportunities are as a direct result of a large-scale 'Strengthening Operational Structures' transformation programme recently undertaken. The Programme has resulted in the development of a leadership framework that will facilitate improvements in clinical service delivery for patients within our community and support our objectives.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a senior clinical Leader to join our 0-19yrs service within the Children and Families Division. The service provides a universal offer to all children in Birmingham, with additional aspects including Healthy Child Programme, immunisation, and enuresis services.

The Group Clinical Manager will be required to embed a working model of skill mix that supports the utilisation of expertise within the workforce. This integrated approach is further enhanced through the development of positive relationships with colleagues across the wider health economy, social care and local children’s centres to offer holistic support and interventions to children and families.

These posts will be based at various localities.

This post will be supported by the Group Manager Group & Group Manager 0-19 years Services - working alongside Early Years Practice Lead, District Clinical Managers and other local managers to deliver effective management and performance across this service.

Although this role will be based at the above locations, travel across sites within Birmingham will be required.
