Job overview
We have an exciting opportunity for two fixed term or seconded Quality Assurance Clinicians to join a small but developing, dynamic multi professional team dedicated to delivering high quality s117 and specialist placement package assurance and support alongside supporting mental health quality at a time of service development.

These placements are within the West Midlands and wider, so there is an expectation of an ability to travel locally on a weekly basis and further afield on occasions. There will be an increasing focus on quality as the team develops.
You will be an experienced clinician, from within a Mental Health and / or Learning Disability setting, either as a nurse, allied health professional or social worker, and have an understanding of legal and clinical frameworks and pathways.
You will need to be self motivated, have good clinical and organisational skills, with an eye for detail .
