We are searching for a Cluster Lead Nurse in our Newham Team. You'll work with highly skilled colleagues across the region to support and engage people in drug and alcohol treatment services. No two days will be the same and we're looking for Nurses who have a range of skills and expertise and leadership, but who also believe in being open, compassionate and bold in everything they do.

 

 

This is an exciting time to join us — with developing clinical pathways, expanding harm‑reduction work, and innovation at the heart of what we do. You’ll have the autonomy to influence practice, the support to lead confidently, and the opportunity to leave a lasting impact.

 

As Cluster Lead Nurse, you will:

Someone who can confidently guide, support, and motivate our nursing team — setting the tone for high clinical standards and safe, evidence‑based practice. You’ll lead by example, offering clear direction, constructive feedback, and encouragement, while creating a positive, supportive environment where nurses can grow, develop, and deliver excellent care.

 

You’ll champion safe, accessible, and non‑judgemental care for everyone we support. You’ll promote practical harm‑reduction approaches, empower people to make informed choices about their health, and help create an environment where individuals with complex needs feel respected, included, and supported.

 

You’ll build strong, effective relationships with a wide range of partners — including local healthcare teams, mental health services, primary care, and wider community organisations. You’ll communicate confidently across disciplines, helping to join up care pathways, reduce barriers, and ensure the people we support receive truly coordinated, person‑centred care.

You’ll bring strong clinical expertise and the confidence to make clear, informed decisions — even when situations are complex, time‑sensitive, or unpredictable. You’ll be able to balance risk, safety, and person‑centred care while staying calm and focused under pressure. Your sound clinical judgement will guide the team, support safe practice, and ensure the best outcomes for the people we work with.

 

You’ll invest in your team’s growth, creating an environment where nurses feel supported, valued, and confident to progress. You’ll provide guidance, mentorship, and constructive feedback, helping colleagues build their skills and achieve their professional goals. By nurturing talent and encouraging continuous learning, you’ll strengthen the team and ensure high‑quality, compassionate care across the service.

 

If you’re a committed, enthusiastic nurse who wants to lead with compassion and help shape the future of our Camden service, we’d love to hear from you.
