Are you ready to shape and influence our patient’s experience through the support and development of students and apprentices and their placements in order to provide the NHS with a compassionate and effective future workforce?

If you have answered “yes” to the questions above, you may be just the person we are looking for to join our Practice Development Team as a Student Support Practitioner.

You will be a health care professional registered with either the Nursing & Midwifery Council or the Health and Care Professions Council and ideally experience of working in mental health services.

Support multidisciplinary, pre-registration learners on placement across the organisation as part of the Student Support Team.

Support, influence and improve the quality of the learning environment by providing advice, supervision and guidance for learners. This will enable the practice setting to provide the best possible placement experience, ultimately enabling delivery of high-quality patient centred care.

Working with and being the conduit between HEI’s and placements in order to plan placements to maximise learner’s needs, consider new programmes and expand capacity.

Internally manage, negotiate and allocate capacity in order to meet the different needs of Higher Education Institutes.

Provide pastoral and professional practice support for learners and placement supervisors/assessors, provide supervisor/assessor training and maintenance of records.

Ability to travel to support learners and placements across Trust’s sites as and when required and in order to work flexibly to meet the requirements of the team.

The post holder will facilitate direct and indirect support, guidance and pastoral support to pre-registration learners, Practice Supervisors, Practice Assessors and Practice Educators to support learning in practice placements across the trust. This requires the post holder to forge strong relationships with partners across the region and with clinical staff across a range of learning environments throughout the organisation.
