Job overview

Are you an ITU or ED nurse, or an emergency ambulance paramedic, with leadership experience - ready to lead the team that shapes how a major NHS Trust prepares for the moments that matter most?

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust is looking for a Resuscitation Practice Development Manager to help lead our new Resuscitation Practice Development Team, providing operational oversight of the resuscitation service across the Trust and ensuring our practice reflects national guidelines and Resuscitation Council (UK) standards.

You'll remain a visible, credible clinical resource  and oversee equipment assurance across the Trust, including community settings. You'll also deputise for the Lead for Resuscitation, giving you real exposure to strategic decision-making at Trust level.

This is a role where clinical expertise, education, and leadership come together to make a genuine difference to patient outcomes. If that sounds like you, we'd love you to apply.
