The successful applicant would be required to work autonomously to provide high standards of patient care, provision of evidence-based treatments including wound care assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, and discharge of clients attending clinic. They will offer excellent clinical supervision and encourage a culture of learning and reflective practice.
The post holder is responsible for the delivery of clinical care to a defined population. Supported by senior practitioners, they will deliver care within the boundaries of their role. They will work effectively and collaboratively within the team to meet the needs of patients, support the delivery of policy and procedures, and provide clinical leadership.

We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction, and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.
At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable, and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce costs as we do so.
Flexible working requests will be considered for all roles.

Assist senior practitioners as required. Utilise and demonstrate sensitive communication styles, ensuring patients are fully informed and consent to treatment. Communicate effectively with patients and carers, recognising the need for alternative methods of communication to overcome different levels of understanding, cultural backgrounds, and preferred ways of communicating. Act as an advocate when representing patients and colleagues' viewpoints to others. Recognise and work within own competence and professional code of conduct as regulated by the relevant professional body. Produce accurate, contemporaneous, and complete records of patient consultations, consistent with legislation, policies, and procedures. Prioritise, organise, and manage own workload in a manner that maintains and promotes quality. Deliver care according to national and local guidelines, working in partnership with other clinical teams/departments.

Utilise the audit cycle as a means of evaluating quality, implementing improvements where required. Evaluate the patients’ response to health care provision and the effectiveness of care. Support and participate in shared learning across the wider organisation. Utilising a structured framework (e.g., root cause analysis), participate in the management, review, and identify learning from patient complaints, clinical incidents, and near-miss events. Participate in the performance monitoring review of the team, providing feedback as appropriate. Act as a positive role model, taking responsibility for own development, learning, and performance including participating in clinical supervision. Actively promote the workplace as a learning environment encouraging everyone to reach their potential, learn from each other, and from external good practice. Understand own responsibilities and accountability in the delivery of care to patients, ensuring that the needs of the patient are the priority. Participate in planning and implementing changes within the area of care and responsibility. Work with other professionals to ensure sufficient staff of appropriate ability, quality, and skill mix is available to meet the needs of patients.
