2 weeks ago
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Paediatric Ophthalmology Team for two Trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioners.
PLEASE NOTE THIS POSITION IS FOR INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY
The postholders will be key senior members of the team, providing paediatric eye care in Sheffield and across the region. We are a fantastic team, who drive forward service improvements, are highly family centred in their approaches and are a fantastic collaborative team, who care for and look after each other.
You may be required to see patients on wards or A&E and be able to manage the complete pathway for specific conditions.
The post may be worked at any Trust location.
As an existing member of the Ophthalmology team you will have experience and interest in paediatric assessment and treatment and be committed to child / family centred approaches.
The post holder will complete a portfolio of competency and evidence based practice, and will work towards fulfilling the core capabilities of an ACP as set out in the Trust and HEE framework for advanced clinical practice in England (HEE, 2017), and the qualified ACP job description.
This post is at Band 6 or 7 depending on current position for the first year of training, rising to Band 7 for year 2 and 3. It is expected that this will lead to a qualified role as an ACP at Band 8a after a further 6 month consolidation period post qualification. The role is open to flexible working/part time if required for a minimum of 30 hours across 4 days per week during training and when qualified.
The position offers the opportunity to develop a strong leadership role within the department. The post holder will develop skills to act as a role model, developing their knowledge and skills to work towards delivering an advanced level of practice in the speciality whilst delivering evidence-based high-quality care for children and their families. This will include developing the skills to become an autonomous practitioner including undertaking clinical assessments, formulating a differential diagnosis, ordering and interpreting clinical investigations, using medical exemptions or prescribing if applicable, clinical decision making and planning of care and treatment. The post holder will work closely with all members of the multi-disciplinary team playing an integral role in the operational and strategic development of the advanced practice.
Experience and skills will be underpinned by the four pillars of advanced practice: clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research.
You will be involved in audit and research to enhance the service and also present at national/international level and support a learning culture within the department.
