Practice Educator (CAMHS & Gender Service)

This is an exciting time to join the Community and Mental Health Division as it continues to grow. The division is currently made up of approximately 1000 staff who work together with the overall aim of improving patient care and experience both in the hospital setting and out in the community. Following the expansion of the division, we are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, dedicated, and passionate Senior Nurse to join our divisional education team as a Practice Educator.

This role will provide support, supervision, and educational support across the Community CAMHS teams and Gender Identity Service. They will also work closely with the wider divisional educational team to develop and deliver a robust education strategy.

Experience of working within CAMHS is desirable but not essential as the post holder will be well supported by the senior clinical and education teams.

The Practice Educator will promote a culture of continuous improvement within all areas of the division/organisation to ensure best practice is achieved in the delivery of high-quality patient care for children, young people and their families.

Main duties of the role will include:

1. Ensuring good, safe and effective education is in place for all staff groups within these teams, also monitoring compliance with mandatory training.
2. Developing and maintaining staff knowledge and skills in order to ensure that all staff employed within the division are 'fit for purpose and practice'.
3. Assisting in developing and implementing the division educational strategy for both registered and unregistered staff.
4. Promoting educational partnerships with other education colleagues and other relevant agencies.

This post will primarily be based at the main hospital site but will require activity at other Trust sites and in the community.
