We're looking for a Paediatric Clinical Lead to support children and young people with complex healthcare needs in their own homes across Bristol, Cheltenham and Swindon.

As a Paediatric Clinical Lead, you'll manage your own clinical caseload, complete assessments and care plans, train and support care teams and ensure children receive safe, high-quality care at home.

• Hybrid working, including 1–2 days working from home per week.
• Flexible Monday to Friday working.
• 45p per mile mileage reimbursement for regional travel.

The RoleYou'll join a specialist provider delivering nurse-led complex care to children and young people within their own homes.
This is an autonomous community position covering Bristol, Cheltenham and Swindon, with the flexibility to work from home 1–2 days each week and the support of an experienced clinical and operational team around you.
As a Paediatric Clinical Lead, you'll:
• Manage and clinically oversee paediatric complex care packages.

• Confidence with complex clinical interventions such as tracheostomy care and ventilation.
• The ability to work autonomously and support the development of frontline care teams.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across Bristol, Cheltenham and Swindon.
Previous Clinical Lead experience is advantageous, but you don't need to already hold a Clinical Lead title.
You may currently be working as a Paediatric Nurse, Children's Nurse, Complex Care Nurse, Community Children's Nurse, Nurse Case Manager, Senior Nurse or Clinical Nurse Manager and be ready for greater autonomy and responsibility.
This is an excellent opportunity to progress into a Paediatric Clinical Lead position without moving away from the clinical work that makes a genuine difference to children and their families.
