Are you looking for an interesting post that offers a change of direction in your career, and the opportunity for you to develop skills in practice education? An opportunity has arisen within the Practice Education Team, and we are recruiting a registered Healthcare Professional to join us as a Practice Education Facilitator.

We work together as a team across all sites, covering practice placements for all healthcare professional students and apprentices within the organisation.

You will need good communication skills, knowledge of current practice education issues and experience of working with healthcare professional students.

The post will be based at York Hospital covering practice placements for all non-medical healthcare professional students, and supporting Pre-registration Healthcare Professional Apprentices within a defined area. We are looking for a motivated, flexible and enthusiastic registered healthcare professional, who will be able to work with non-medical healthcare professionals and students, providing support and cover when required to all placement areas in the organisation. The role of the Practice Education Facilitator is to:
  • Promote, support and advise on practice education issues in practice placement areas
  • Ensure the Trust meets the National and Regional Standards for Healthcare Education
  • Support staff to engage in education and training for all non-medical healthcare professional students, to meet the required standards
  • Support the provision of quality practice placements for all non-medical healthcare professional students

This will involve liaising with Universities, Trust staff, Healthcare Professional students and Apprentices (non-medical). It can involve delivery of presentations, teaching, mediation and organisational skills, in order to meet the challenges of professional education. We can offer you a varied working experience, opportunities to develop your professional skills and work within a friendly supportive team.

Please note that the interview will take place on Wednesday, 24th February 2021.

It's not just the area that's a great draw, as well: as a member of our team, you'll have access to one of the most generous and comprehensive pension schemes in the UK, a minimum of 27 days annual leave (on top of Bank Holidays) and an award-winning package of staff benefits (see link on the right).
