Practice Educator (CAMHS & Gender Service)

This is an exciting time to join the Community and Mental Health Division as it continues to grow. The division is currently made up of approximately 1000 staff who work together with the overall aim of improving patient care and experience both in the hospital setting and out in the community. Following the expansion of the division, we are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, dedicated, and passionate Senior Nurse or Allied Health Professional to join our divisional education team as a Practice Educator. This role will provide support, supervision, and educational support across the Community CAMHS teams and Gender Identity Service. They will also work closely with the wider divisional educational team to develop and deliver a robust education strategy. Experience of working within CAMHS is desirable but not essential as the post holder will be well supported by the senior clinical and education teams. The Practice Educator will promote a culture of continuous improvement within all areas of the division/organisation to ensure best practice is achieved in the delivery of high-quality patient care for children, young people and their families. Ensuring good, safe and effective education is in place for all staff groups within these teams, also monitoring compliance with mandatory training. Developing and maintaining staff knowledge and skills in order to ensure that all staff employed within the division are 'fit for purpose and practice'. Assisting in developing and implementing the division educational strategy for both registered and unregistered staff. Promoting educational partnerships with other education colleagues and other relevant agencies. As a leader in child healthcare and research, Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust provides care for more than 275,000 children and young people each year, making us one of the biggest and busiest children's hospitals in Europe. This care is delivered not only on our main site in Liverpool, but in patients' homes and communities, and at other hospitals across the North of England. Our state-of-the-art hospital, on our main site in Liverpool, opened in October 2015. It set a new benchmark within the NHS and won many prestigious industry awards. Buildings, however, are only as good as what happens inside them. Our highly professional, skilled staff include some of the best clinicians in their field in the world. This expertise is combined with a care and compassion, evident in all of our staff, that our patients and families tell us is unique. This dedication and passion for putting our patients at the heart of everything we do has helped us to achieve a rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) - England's independent regulator of health and social care - of 'Good' overall and 'Outstanding' in the category of 'Caring'. This is something that we're proud of, but it's something that wouldn't have been possible without our staff. This post will primarily be based at the main hospital site but will require activity at other Trust sites and in the community.
