They will train key staff groups in good principles of mouthcare skills and assessments. They will have ambition to improve care provided to most vulnerable in our hospitals. They will support with mouth care policy development and report to NHS England North East commissioners.

The successful applicant will have a flexible approach to working hours to ensure that we provide a consistent service to our patients across the services we support.

Our values are shared across North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust & NHS North Cumbria Clinical Commissioning Group.

**They are**:
Kindness - Kindness and compassion cost nothing, yet accomplish a great deal

Respect - We are respectful to everyone and are open, honest and fair - respect behaviours

Ambition - We set goals to achieve the best for our patients, teams, organisation and our partners

Collaboration - We are stronger and better working together with and for our patients

Provide training and support for hospital staff involved in the provision of mouth care for patients. This would be modified according to the ward patient base, for example intensive care, coronary care, geriatric, chemotherapy, palliative care etc.

Training - delivery of interactive training sessions (ward based, classroom based and virtually) to groups of healthcare assistants, nurses and other staff involved in the provision of mouth care (dieticians, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists etc.)

Mouth care risk assessments and recording - train and assist staff where necessary to complete mouth care assessments and mouth care plans.

Actively participate in service improvement, including staff/patient surveys, focus groups, case studies/patient stories and audits. Liaise with senior management to ensure sustainable improvements in oral care and identify future training needs.

Ensure that a Trust mouth care policy is written and accepted by the Trust Board and implemented across all inpatient sites.

Ensure that the commissioned contract and key performance indicators are achieved and reported to NHS England North East.

Provide oral health advice and instruction to specific client groups with complex needs.
