North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare Trust
Our Trust is on an incredible journey of innovation, and we'd like you to be part of it. To excel, you will be an enthusiastic, caring, and compassionate Registered Practitioner who is looking to work within a Trust that is ambitious to perform well and has been recognized by the Care Quality Commission as the fastest improving mental health Trust in the country. Whether you are about to qualify, newly qualified, or an experienced practitioner, we want to meet you and discuss the possibility of you joining this great multi-disciplinary team. Our vision is 'To be Outstanding in all we do and how we do it.' Our teams pride themselves on compassion, teamwork, and resilience. The Trust supports you by offering a flexible shift system, including twilight shifts and compressed hours to support working families, and our staff parking is free on all our main sites. You can expect Continuing Professional Development (CPD) tailored to meet your professional development needs; individual CPD advice is available from our Practice Education Team. The CPD offer includes the option to rotate within the Trust to widen your breadth of experience, skills, and knowledge. Main Duties of the Job
You will be expected to provide support for the work of other members of the multidisciplinary team and signpost children, young people, and families to appropriate support. Finally, you will contribute, where appropriate, to the service development and consultation to the wider MDT. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a developing service with high expectations for improving outcomes for children and families in North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. As an employee and representative of the Trust, you are required to demonstrate and uphold the Trust's Values. These are: Proud to CARE: Caring with compassion; it's about how we listen, what we say, and what we do. Approachable: Friendly, welcoming, sharing ideas, and being open. Responsible: Taking personal and collective responsibility, being accountable for our actions. Striving for the best, for high-quality safe care, and continually improving. About Us
As a Trust, we remain bold and ambitious with plans for both service and system collaborative transformation over the coming years to improve the health and wellbeing of our local people through high-quality care. We pride ourselves on ensuring our team has their wellbeing put first and as such provide a range of wellness opportunities, including flexible working. We are committed to the Greener NHS national ambition of becoming the world's first 'carbon net zero' national health system by 2045. As part of this, sustainability is embedded in our strategy as one of our four key enablers. To deliver on this commitment, we recognize that we need a workforce that is as passionate as we are about achieving these goals for the benefit of our service users, workforce, local communities, and the planet alike. For 2024/2025, we have launched our 'Proud to be Green' engagement campaign, which is aligned to the targets set out in our Green Plan. As a Trust, you can be assured that we will commit to supporting you in working towards our net zero ambitions, set out in our Green Plan, through our sustainability programme. The Trust is committed to ensuring that a diverse workforce is representative and inclusive at all levels.
