Uxbridge Greater London, United Kingdom Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you an enthusiastic team player possessing excellent communication skills who is also interested in advancing your career in resuscitation training in a leading specialist Trust? If so, Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals would like to meet you.

We currently have a vacancy for a dynamic and clinically-focused individual to join our Resuscitation Team.

This is an exciting opportunity for you to develop your skills and knowledge in the advancing fields of resuscitation in a specialist cardiothoracic hospital with an active primary PCI service as well as transplant services. You will be involved with hands-on practical training, auditing, governance activities, teaching, and team projects, as well as carrying out clinical duties by acting as a member of the cardiac arrest team and the delivery of clinical simulation programmes.

You will have the opportunity to develop personally and professionally within the team and you will be supported to develop further as an instructor and course director facilitating in-house and national courses such as Deteriorating Patient Workshop, Advanced Life Support, Intermediate Life Support, and Cardiac Advanced Life Support (CALS). You will also be required to work closely with our colleagues at the Guys & St Thomas' sites.

The post will be based at Harefield Hospital, however there will be an expectation of travel between the different sites when necessary to support the service (a hospital shuttle bus is available).

Main duties of the job

The successful applicant will be responsible for delivering training courses ranging from Basic to Advanced Life Support to staff working within the organisation. You will work closely with the Lead Resuscitation Officer and other clinical colleagues in the development of key policies and training programmes aimed at recognising when to escalate care and the early recognition of clinical conditions such as sepsis and acute kidney injury.

You will attend adult and paediatric emergency calls acting as an expert clinical resource and providing support for the resuscitation and local teams.

You will perform audit and post-event follow-up related to cardiac arrests and other emergency events where the crash team is activated.

You will carry out risk assessments related to resuscitation and assist areas in setting up and maintaining emergency equipment as well as delivering local training as required.

Job description

Job responsibilities

You will teach resuscitation skills to staff of all grades in a variety of settings, offer clinical support to staff during the management of emergencies, carry out risk assessments of new and existing departments, participate in audit of crash calls, equipment and DNACPR recommendations and assist in incident investigation of problems arising from resuscitations or with the crash team.

You are expected to develop and maintain good relations with clinical and support staff across the Trust at all levels and with relevant external organisations and instructors.

You will work effectively as a member of the multidisciplinary team and individually, if required, without direct supervision.

You will, in conjunction with the Lead Resuscitation Officer, facilitate the process of change and quality management in the department and at trust level.
