Pulse is recruiting registered nurses for a Clinical Team Lead role supporting Our Future Health, the UK’s largest health research programme. This is a mobile, multi‑site role across Wales, ideal for nurses who enjoy variety, autonomy, and working across different community locations.

The role is suitable for experienced Band 6/7 nurses, or Band 5 nurses with leadership or supervisory experience who are ready to step up into a clinical leadership position. Nurses who are flexible to travel across multiple sites will be particularly well suited.
