Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Midwifery Education Team at BHRUT. We are looking to recruit a Clinical Skills Facilitator, who is enthusiastic, motivated, clinically astute. As part of the education team your responsibility will be to support and facilitate mandatory training, education and training within the maternity department.
Main duties of the job
To provide a high standard of midwifery care at all times, working within a multi disciplinary team to facilitate the development of required clinical skills to nonqualified staff and midwives.
To support/assist in the development of advanced and new roles aimed at improving patient care within the maternity unit. Create good learning opportunities and environments in the clinical practice environment and maintain communication networks with other clinical skills facilitators.
Working for our organisation
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.
Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.
Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
