Job Description
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.

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.

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.
