You will be responsible for maintaining high practice standards, managing activities delegated to others, and offering guidance to less experienced staff. This dynamic role offers opportunities to lead, develop, and continually refine your clinical expertise within a supportive environment.

While predominantly clinical in nature, the CN role offers a diverse range of responsibilities, including involvement in clinical teaching, research, and contributing to MHCP-wide projects such as the development of clinical protocols, guidelines, and process mapping. You may also be entrusted with portfolios aligned with your career development plan and MHCP priorities, allowing for a fulfilling and rewarding career trajectory.
