Internal Secondment Opportunity

Lead Nurse (Implementation Lead) - Rotherham Mobilisation Team

Secondment until 30 May 2027

 As we prepare to launch our new Rotherham service in January 2027, we have a unique opportunity for an experienced Nurse Lead to help shape the future of clinical delivery from the very beginning.

This is more than a nursing leadership role.

It's an opportunity to help build a new service from the ground up and shape how clinical care is delivered from day one.

We're looking for a Lead Nurse (Implementation Lead) to join the Rotherham mobilisation team and play a pivotal role in establishing and embedding Change Grow Live's nursing provision within our new service, launching in January 2027.

As a key member of the implementation team, you'll lead the development of the nursing function, helping to shape clinical pathways, governance arrangements, workforce integration and standards of care. Working closely with operational, clinical and mobilisation colleagues, you'll ensure our nursing model is successfully implemented and that the service is ready to deliver safe, effective and person-centred care from the moment we go live.

Alongside this, you'll provide visible leadership and support to nursing colleagues transferring into Change Grow Live through the TUPE process, helping them navigate change with confidence and feel connected to our values, culture and approach. Bringing together existing expertise with Change Grow Live's clinical model, you'll help create a cohesive, high-performing nursing team and lay the foundations for long-term clinical excellence across the service.

If you're energised by change, passionate about clinical leadership and excited by the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy, this could be the role for you.

You'll work across the mobilisation and early operational phases, ensuring our nursing workforce, governance arrangements, clinical pathways and ways of working are fully embedded and aligned with Change Grow Live standards.

Building for the Future

• Help establish a high-performing nursing team ready to deliver from day one.
• Drive continuous improvement and a culture of learning.
• Support the development of sustainable clinical systems and processes that will continue beyond mobilisation.
• Contribute to a lasting legacy for the new Rotherham service.

• The ability to support and influence teams through periods of transition.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage colleagues at all levels.
• A collaborative and inclusive leadership style.
• A commitment to high-quality, person-centred care and continual improvement.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Shape how nursing provision is delivered within a brand-new service.
• Influence clinical systems, pathways and ways of working.
