Position Overview
We are looking for a dedicated and proactive Band 7 Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) to become a vital member of our IPC team.

- Providing expert guidance to multidisciplinary colleagues, patients, and caregivers regarding infection prevention.
- Contributing to the development and execution of strategies aimed at reducing infection rates.
- Collaborating with clinical teams to ensure compliance with infection prevention protocols.

- Designing and delivering educational programs for all healthcare disciplines.
- Acting as a strong advocate for patients, demonstrating compassionate leadership and ensuring that patient care adheres to best clinical practices.
- Overseeing the daily operations of the IPC team under the guidance of Senior IPC Nurses.
