Summary
A Vacancy at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
An opportunity has arisen to join the team on our Children's & TYA Hematology & Oncology Ward at Leicester Royal Infirmary (Ward 27, LRI). We need an experienced, highly motivated and dedicated individual who can work with our team to deliver high quality education & patient care.
The role of the Clinical Skills Facilitator is pivotal in providing leadership, education and support to our nurses, whilst ensuring that the team are up to date with all necessary training & competencies. A successful applicant will be offered the opportunity to gain skills in leadership, management and quality improvement. You will also have the opportunity to work closely with the base wards & the wider multi disciplinary team within UHL.
Ward 27 is a fast paced 12 bedded Haematology & Oncology ward which cares for children & young adults up to 24 years of age.
You will be responsible for the development and implementation of training and skills programs within Ward 27.
You will contribute to the development and implementation of
specific procedures and policies to support clinical education
and practice, clinical working, staff development, quality and
safety, patient experience and quality standards.
Working in conjunction with the Ward Sister and Practice
Education Team, support the development and education of
ward staff by identifying and implementing appropriate
clinical skills and development opportunities.
Work clinically alongside registered and non-registered staff
promoting and delivering clinical skills training practice
ensuring that skills adhere to UHL Policies and procedures.
You will be expected to work one clinical shift a week,
fulfilling the responsibilities of a band 6 nurse while on duty.
Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of clinical skills
training and practice development within the Ward.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
