Clinical Supervision Trainer and Implementation Lead

What if every frontline practitioner had the time, space and support to reflect, grow and deliver their best work?

We're looking for two passionate and skilled professionals to lead the implementation of reflective clinical supervision across our adult drug and alcohol services. This is a unique opportunity to influence practice at scale, strengthen professional wellbeing, and help create the conditions for exceptional care across Change Grow Live.

As a Clinical Supervision Trainer and Implementation Lead, you'll play a pivotal role in embedding our organisation-wide clinical supervision framework, ensuring frontline colleagues have access to meaningful, protected reflective spaces that support learning, resilience and high-quality practice. This is an opportunity to be part of a transformational national programme that invests in our people so they can continue making a lasting difference for the people who use our services.

Drawing on the principles of Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Practice and Psychosocial Interventions, you'll work alongside teams, leaders and services to create sustainable change that becomes part of everyday practice.

This is far more than a training role.

You'll work directly with services across the organisation, building relationships, understanding local needs and co-creating implementation plans that enable clinical supervision to flourish. From engagement and readiness assessment through to training delivery, reflective practice facilitation, evaluation and handover, you'll help services develop approaches they own and sustain for the long term. 

Working collaboratively across the Learning & Organisational Development function, you'll:

• Deliver engaging clinical supervision training programmes both face-to-face and virtually.
• Support and develop clinical supervisors, helping learning translate into confident day-to-day practice.
• Facilitate reflective practice spaces that provide support, challenge and professional growth.
• Partner with leaders and teams to embed supervision in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable locally.
• Build regional learning networks that strengthen capability and create communities of practice.
• Evaluate impact, share learning and contribute to the ongoing evolution of CGL's clinical supervision offer.
• Champion inclusive, trauma-informed and psychologically safe approaches throughout implementation.

You'll be someone who believes that when we invest in our people, we improve outcomes for everyone.

You will bring a strong understanding of reflective practice alongside significant experience of applying Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Practice and Psychosocial Interventions in real-world settings. You'll be comfortable influencing change, building relationships and supporting services to develop confidence, ownership and capability.

We're particularly interested in candidates who demonstrate:

• Expertise in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP) and Psychosocial Interventions (PSI).
• Strong facilitation, coaching and reflective practice skills.
• Experience supporting individuals, teams or organisations through meaningful practice change.
• The ability to engage, inspire and collaborate with stakeholders at all levels.
• Confidence working independently while remaining connected to a wider national team.
• A commitment to inclusive, person-centred and evidence-informed practice.

This role offers a rare opportunity to influence practice across a national organisation while further developing your expertise in organisational development, implementation science, clinical supervision and workforce development.

You'll work alongside experienced colleagues within our Organisational Development Practice Team, contribute to national strategic programmes, and build skills in large-scale change, facilitation, leadership and quality improvement. Whether your future aspirations lie within organisational development, clinical leadership, workforce transformation or senior operational leadership, this role offers exceptional exposure and development opportunities.
