Are you well organised? Do you want to join a busy and unique team? Then we would love to hear from you

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Manual Handling Educator to join our team. You would provide training and education to all staff groups on moving and handling of patients and loads. Training includes mandatory, non-, mandatory, bespoke specialised training and onsite training sessions to specific staff groups. There will also be the opportunity to assist with provision of external training based on external sites.

The Manual Handling Educator will assist the service to promote musculoskeletal health at work and reduce injury. This will contribute to the health and wellbeing of staff at work and also prevention of harms to patients.

The role includes working alongside staff on wards and departments to provide clinical support with the manual handling management of patients. Acute or community health care experience in moving and handling of people would be valuable. There will also be opportunity to work alongside non-clinical staff with inanimate object handling.

There are excellent opportunities for Learning and Development available in the Trust and the successful applicant will be well supported and encouraged to develop in their role with post graduate education requirements once established in post. Informal visits are encouraged.
