Strategic Clinical Networks are an essential national vehicle for joint working between key stakeholders including NHS Wales, Welsh Government and the third sector to improve the outcomes and experience for the population of Wales.

This role provides an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated, results-focused individual to shape and deliver exciting projects of work within a National Strategic Clinical Network (NSCN) to support health boards/trust to improve the delivery of key health services across Wales.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
