Job Title: Trainee Emergency Practitioner - Urgent Treatment Centre

Contract Type: Permanent

The emergency practitioner team within the Urgent Treatment Centre has an exciting opportunity for an individual as an experienced or trainee emergency practitioner in minor injury and illness.

As a band 6 trainee Emergency practitioner, you will be enrolled in the fully funded successful regional minor injury and illness programme to teach you how to manage minor injury and illness in adults and paediatric patients.

Furthermore, clinically you will be supervised, assessed, and supported by very experienced emergency practitioners to give on-the-job training, assessment, investigation, and procedural advice.

Upon qualifying, you will become a band 7 emergency practitioner. The expectation is that you will then commence your masters pathway or apprenticeship to help aid you in your future practitioner pathway.

The emergency practitioner pathway is a great introduction into the clinical practitioner pathway in your career. There are many options available to complete masters and apprenticeship pathways once the right candidate has qualified as an emergency practitioner to develop your practitioner skills and clinical practice.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated 'Good' by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

Working closely with members of the clinical, nursing, consultant, and advanced clinical practitioner team, the successful candidate should have significant emergency nursing experience.

A high level of competency in emergency skills including but not limited to wound closure and care, plastering, triage, health promotion, and patient group directives.

Evidence of involvement of quality improvement, education, and change management within their job role.

It is expected that the right candidate is flexible to work a range of shifts covering the hours between 07:30 to 22:30, including weekends and public holidays.
