Job description
Practice Educator - Community - Band 7
We are transforming Adult Community Services in Croydon. Do you have the skills to be part of this exciting transformation agenda?
In Croydon, Health and Social care providers and commissioners have formed the Croydon Alliance Board with the aim of providing a whole system transformation that will deliver the outcomes our over 65’s have specified that they want.
The Outcome- Based Commissioning programme is a radically different approach to funding and delivery of services designed to deliver outcomes local people want whilst getting best value from the Health and Social care sectors. This includes the provision of well-coordinated care and support to promote independence in the most appropriate setting.
We require a part time Practice Educator to work within our Integrated Care Teams to support staff in developing the advanced skills required to provide effective nursing care at home to avoid hospital admissions. Excellent clinical, leadership and communication skills are essential along with the ability to work in an innovative way to support the transition to new Integrated Community Networks. The successful candidate will be passionate about education, quality and safety as well as acting as an excellent role model.
All candidates must have a clean full UK driving licence and the use of a car for work purposes.
Interviews: tbc
Our main hospital site, Croydon University Hospital is one of the busiest in London. We’re also leading the way in providing more healthcare outside hospitals at clinics, specialist centres and in people’s homes. Our experienced district nursing teams, Allied Health Professionals and community matrons look after people of all ages across Croydon.
Across the NHS everyone is working hard to meet growing demand and we’re no exception. But with the right people on board, we are rising to this challenge, putting our people in the driving seat, encouraging innovation and transforming our services to give local people the quality of care they deserve. Croydon Health Services puts a great deal of importance on education and training throughout the careers of all of our staff.
If you want the opportunity to have a real impact, challenge yourself and be part of an NHS Trust that’s making a real difference then a career at Croydon Health Services could be just what you’re looking for.
