Clinical Skills Trainer - Recognise & Respond (NHS AfC: Band 4) - Recognise & Respond - Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust – Norwich, Norfolk
12 Month Fixed term contract/ secondment opportunity until
This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated person to join the fast-paced and dynamic Recognise & Respond Team (RRT). As a clinical skills trainer, you will deliver high quality, evidence-based training to staff at all clinical levels. You will have direct exposure and input into audit, governance, and equipment monitoring alongside your teaching and educational responsibilities.
RRT supports a multi-disciplinary team caring for the urgent needs of the unwell patient. We are a team of highly skilled professionals who value every member within the team.
The focus of your role will be the delivery of Basic Life Support, but as you progress, there will be opportunities to support and teach on courses provided by the resuscitation team and the wider RRT. Responsibilities will include the review and development of training resources, managing data sets, keeping inventory lists of equipment, and providing important safety updates to staff across the trust as required.
You will provide high quality, evidence-based teaching to clinical staff at all levels across the trust. This will include courses such as basic life support, which is part of the mandatory training requirements for clinical staff. In addition, you will conduct audits for the Recognise & Respond team, collecting data on matters relating to resuscitation and the deteriorating patient. This audit data is imperative to staff and patient safety while maintaining excellent standards of care.
Maintaining emergency equipment lists ensures that the trust has oversight of all locations of life-saving equipment and knows when it needs updating or servicing. As a clinical skills trainer, you will have responsibility for maintaining current systems and developing new systems to ensure efficiency and safety.
It is anticipated that the clinical skills trainer will be confident in teaching both in the classroom and within clinical environments when required. As a team, we are keen to explore how we can meet both the needs of mandatory training requirements and the needs of the staff.
