The Clinical Access Line is a new service that is central to the delivery of the 111 Mental health option national requirement. NHS England requires all trusts to have a '24/7 open access telephone lines for urgent NHS mental health support, advice, and triage.'

The clinical lead will also be responsible for overseeing crisis services during the night and will be expected to undertake gatekeeping assessments for those who may require admission to hospital.
The post holder will exercise advanced clinical expertise, levels of judgement, discretion, and decision-making in clinical care whilst working within the Clinical Access Line Team. In collaboration with the team leader, monitor and lead improvements to standards of care through supervision of practice, clinical audit, evidenced-based practice, teaching and supporting professional colleagues, and the provision of skilled professional leadership.
