### Job overview

Band 7 Clinical Team Lead for Humber’s new 6 bedded Female Enhanced Care Unit (ECU)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and motivated Band 7 Clinical Team Lead to head up our new Female Enhanced Care Unit (ECU ). This is a key leadership role where you will support a skilled multidisciplinary team and play an important part in delivering safe, effective, and compassionate care to women with complex mental health needs as part of our new women’s pathway.

Our Female ECU will provide specialist care for women experiencing acute and complex mental health. The unit supports patients who require enhanced engagement, intensive therapeutic input, and a structured environment to support recovery.

### Main duties of the job

We are committed to providing care that is safe, trauma-informed, and person-centred, recognising the unique needs of women within mental health services.

As Clinical Team Lead, you will be pivotal in the recruitment, selection and development of your clinical team.

As a new service, the drivers will balance a therapeutic and medical model and you will support and influence the implementation, training and delivery of this.

You will clinically and operationally lead the new ECU team. As part of this role you will join the acute and urgent care leadership team, with access to senior and peer support from mental health inpatient services and the wider Mental Health division –unplanned care.

As part of the inpatient leadership team, there is an expectation to provide senior Band 7 duty cover on Saturdays, Sundays, and Bank Holiday Mondays across the wider unplanned adult and older adult inpatient services. This currently equates to approximately one in every 15 weekends (around four weekends per year), with time off in lieu taken during the week. This role is supported by the weekend multidisciplinary team (MDT), which provides cover for all inpatient areas to facilitate urgent MDT discussions. The service is led by the Band 7 on duty alongside an inpatient Responsible Clinician (RC) or Approved Clinician (AC), both operating on a rota basis.
