The NHS is changing. More emphasis on community-based care means there's never been a better time to join us.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and adaptable Team Lead/Case Manager to join our professional team.
We're a close team but we're never exclusive; if you can bring a professional approach and fresh ideas, we would love to hear from you.
Main duties of the job
Could you use your skills and experience to support the NHS to deliver great patient care? Great patient care needs great people to support clinical teams. That's where you come in.
We're always looking for enthusiastic, responsive, and adaptable people to join our outstanding trust. This role is an important one as you'll be using your knowledge, experience, and expertise to provide recruitment support to our hard-working frontline NHS teams.
We put patients first and we expect all of our colleagues to do the same, so although NHS experience isn't a requirement for this role, you'll need to share our passion for delivering excellent patient care and keep that passion at the forefront of your professional activity at all times.
The challenges come thick and fast in this role, but you'll know that your input is contributing to the excellent experience our patients and service users have every day.

As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want you to be able to work in a way that is best for us, for our patients, and for you.
