Clinical Effectiveness Lead

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Effectiveness Lead to join our Quality Team at HealthHero on a permanent part-time basis (0.8 FTE, 4 days per week).

This critical role will shape how safe and effective care is delivered across our urgent and integrated care services. Your expertise will help ensure we meet national standards, learn from data insights, and continuously improve how we care for patients across our Bath, Swindon & Wiltshire (BSW) and Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin (STW) contracts.

While the role operates within a hybrid working model, the successful candidate will be expected to attend either our Chippenham or Telford office two days per week, typically on Tuesdays and Thursdays, to support collaboration, stakeholder engagement, quality improvement activity and service assurance.

You’ll support our Urgent Care services across both the BSW and STW localities, helping ensure services meet Schedule 4 quality requirements, national guidance and regulatory expectations, whilst promoting a learning culture focused on continuous improvement.

Please note: This role focuses on organisational assurance, standards and continuous improvement and does not involve autonomous clinical practice or prescribing.

About the Role

As our Clinical Effectiveness Lead, you’ll be a key member of the Quality Team, providing expert oversight and assurance across clinical effectiveness, NICE compliance, clinical audit, evidence-based practice, and leadership across Medicines Management (including Controlled Drugs) and Infection Prevention & Control (IP&C).

You’ll work across services supporting our BSW and STW contracts, helping ensure services meet quality requirements, national guidance and regulatory expectations.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading a rolling programme of clinical effectiveness, Medicines Management and IP&C assurance.
• Ensuring services meet Schedule 4 quality requirements, NICE guidance and CQC Fundamental Standards.
• Designing and overseeing targeted clinical audits, turning insights into practical service improvements.
• Reviewing national guidance and safety alerts, identifying gaps and supporting implementation.
• Contributing to commissioner reporting and contractual quality schedules.
• Promoting a positive, learning-focused quality culture across services.
• Providing advice and support to clinical and non-clinical colleagues.
• Working closely with operational and clinical teams to deliver clear, credible assurance to senior leaders and commissioners.

About You

You’ll be a registered healthcare professional (NMC or HCPC) with experience working at a senior or specialist level in clinical governance, quality, audit or service improvement.

Our ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate:

• Strong knowledge of clinical effectiveness, clinical audit and governance.
• Experience implementing and assuring NICE guidance.
• Confidence influencing across professional and organisational boundaries.
• The ability to translate complex guidance into clear, practical assurance and improvement actions.
• Strong written communication skills and experience producing reports for senior audiences.
• The ability to work effectively within a hybrid environment, with a commitment to attending either our Chippenham or Telford office two days per week (typically Tuesdays and Thursdays) to support collaborative quality improvement and assurance activities.

Experience in urgent or integrated care settings, or working with NHS contractual quality frameworks, is desirable.
