About the role

An exciting opportunity to work with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) for an experienced and highly motivated Nurse Consultant to lead the CLEAR (Collaborative Leadership for Effective Asthma Referrals) Project. This is a 12-month post. The postholder will act as the sole clinical and strategic lead for the CLEAR project, pioneering a new outreach and referral model across Kent and Medway. The primary objective is to identify patients with severe asthma who are eligible for biologic therapies or to optimise difficult-to-treat asthma and to create effective, sustainable referral pathways into the Guy's Severe Asthma Centre.

The Nurse Consultant will work autonomously at an advanced level of practice, combining expert clinical knowledge with strategic leadership, service development, education, and system-wide collaboration. The role requires close partnership working with primary care, secondary care, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), and multidisciplinary teams to optimise asthma care, address health inequalities, and leave a sustainable, embedded model of care at the end of the secondment.
