The Director of Clinical Services (DCS) will provide clinical leadership and contribute forensic mental health advice to multidisciplinary teams to ensure the delivery of safe and high quality inpatient services across the Inpatient Directorate. The DCS is directly responsible for managing the medical workforce to achieve the best patient treatment and outcomes consistent with the legislated process and to establish ways to ensure the ongoing improvement, growth and development of Forensicare. The DCS reports to the Executive Director – Forensic Mental Health and will be expected to work closely with the Operations Managers and Executive Director, as well as a team of other DCSs.
