“I have been a Clinical Supervisor with SWASFT for 2 years following a career of 30+ years as a ward, practice and NHS Direct nurse. The Clinical Supervisor role at SWASFT utilises all my previous skills to assess patients who have either rung 999 or been transferred through from NHS 111. The role of Clinical Supervisor has exceeded all my expectations. I find it challenging, interesting and despite my experience of 30+ years I am still learning ‘new’ things every day! I’m also convinced this is good for the ‘old grey matter’! I particularly enjoy working within a mixed skill environment, where a wealth of experience and knowledge is shared. I am respected and feel valued both as a person and a nurse, and am able to access support from my immediate colleagues of nurses and paramedics, the clinical team leaders and a dedicated support service if required.
I can honestly say I actually look forward to coming to work and this role has been one of the most rewarding and enjoyable of my career.”

Clinical Supervisor – Bristol & Exeter
Job ref: 202-324-18
As a fully-qualified registered nurse, you’ll already understand the importance of patient care and more than likely, caring for others is at the heart of your career-choice. But have you ever considered a role where you would never meet your patients face-to-face, and where delivery of care is done purely over the phone?
We are recruiting individuals who would take this opportunity as an exciting challenge.
Our call-centre based Clinical Supervisors, located in Bristol and Exeter, deliver care in the most unique way. Often never meeting patients; their success is solely down to their excellent clinical knowledge and their outstanding communication skills.
This role can often be challenging, and you will be expected to work autonomously on a daily basis, making critical and often life-changing decisions.
You will receive an individual training needs analysis and full training, support and mentorship will be available to induct you into your new role.
To find out more about this role, please contact us today to arrange an informal visit to the Hub.
