Applicants are invited to apply in Welsh, any application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application made in English. To support our all Wales service, we particularly welcome applications from Welsh speakers.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

The National Strategic Clinical Network for Gastrointestinal Conditions will provide national leadership and drive forward change to deliver better quality, higher value, more consistent and accessible services for people affected by gastrointestinal conditions. This should take into account workforce challenges and the impact and opportunities of innovation and different ways of working.

The post sits within the National Strategic Clinical Network for Gastrointestinal Conditions and NHS Wales Executive which supports and advises Health Boards and Welsh Government in Wales. Whilst the main responsibilities will be to the new National Strategic Clinical Network for Gastrointestinal Conditions, the post holder will be required to work flexibly to respond to the business needs of the supporting clinical reference groups and workstreams consistent to those described in this job description.

The post holder will work within the National Strategic Clinical Network for Gastrointestinal Conditions as part of the Liver Disease Implementation Network, alongside the Liver Disease Clinical Lead, Network Manager and core team to develop models of care closer to home, ensuring pathways are implemented to deliver a consistent integrated delivery of care at the point of need. This will also require the postholder to work across other Networks to ensure a whole system approach is met, reducing potential for silo working.
