Clinical Skills Trainer - Recognise & Respond

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 and the support provided by the surgical support administrator is imperative to the successful running of the team.
The focus of your role will be the delivery of Basic Life Support but as you progress there will be opportunity to support and teach on courses provided by the resuscitation team and the wider RRT. In addition, you will have responsibilities which 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 and when required. We are really excited to see the possibilities this brand new role (and successful candidate) can achieve!

This audit data is imperative to staff and patient safety whilst maintaining excellent standards of care. Ensuring this data is managed and fed back to relevant groups and areas in the best way possible will support your development further.
Maintaining emergency equipment lists ensures that the trust have oversight of all locations of live saving equipment and know when it needs updating or servicing. As a clinical skills trainer you will have responsibility in maintaining current systems and developing new systems to ensure efficiency and safety.
