  • Support a positive team culture that encourages accountability, collaboration, learning and continuous improvement.
  • Lead clinical reviews, case conferences, multidisciplinary meetings and quality improvement activities.
  • Support staff development through education, supervision and professional development.
  • Promote high standards of clinical documentation, care planning, auditing and clinical governance.
  • Build strong and constructive relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Partner with the Health Services Manager to support effective day-to-day service delivery and broader operational priorities.
