Asthma Clinical Nurse Specialist

As part of our team, you will join one of the UK's leading Severe Asthma Centres, providing specialist care and support to patients with severe and complex asthma across inpatient and outpatient settings.

You will manage a defined caseload, undertake specialist clinical assessments, support treatment optimisation, provide patient education and contribute to service development, audit and quality improvement. The role offers excellent opportunities to develop specialist knowledge and skills within a highly experienced multidisciplinary team caring for patients receiving advanced asthma therapies.

Working closely with respiratory consultants and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will support the review of patients admitted with asthma, contribute to post-discharge follow-up, and play an active role in initiatives such as the National Respiratory Audit Programme (NRAP) to improve patient outcomes and reduce avoidable admissions.

Reporting to the Senior Sister for the Adult Asthma Service, you will help deliver high-quality, evidence-based and patient-centred care within an innovative and nationally recognised service.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
