- Focus on leading service improvement - developing pathways which support the early identification of patients who would benefit from early Allied Health, with focus on improving patient care and best quality outcomes.
- Alongside a working group and key stakeholders, identify, collect and analyse data to allow the exploration of further required development for Allied Health and patient care within DCCM/CVIVU.

This is a full-time position of 40 hours per week, with a clinical caseload. You would also be required to participate in our weekend and on-call roster.
