Introduction

We’re looking for an experienced Peripatetic Clinical Lead to join the team, covering the New Forest area, and based out of Woodpeckers, Brockenhurst SO42 7RX. 

Our residents live with moderate to high frailty needs and a diagnosis of dementia. You’ll be responsible for ensuring the best clinical care for residents while promoting their continued wellbeing and independence through delivery of our dementia strategy.

You’ll lead the clinical team, working with Nurses to drive forward the clinical excellence in the home, engaging with external agencies as and when required to ensure the best possible care for our residents.
