You will ensure excellent governance and adherence to external regulatory standards, demonstrating effective people management skills, customer focus, and the ability to manage change.

Duties and responsibilities will include:

• Conduct clinical activities at the CDC in strict adherence to CQC regulations, ensuring the highest standards of compliance and quality.
• Deliver direct patient care with utmost professionalism, performing procedures such as phlebotomy, cannulation, and spirometry while consistently upholding patient dignity and confidentiality.
