Full Job Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, dynamic, and innovative Band 8a Lead Emergency Care Practitioner to join our new Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. The role will be enhanced through a model supporting 60% direct clinical care balanced with 40% leadership and management responsibilities.
The new UTC will be co-located on site with our Emergency Department (ED), which has a reputation for innovation and is increasingly recognised for its clinical academic work in emergency care. The Emergency Department was rated outstanding in the Effective and Caring domains and good in all others during our last CQC inspection. We are proud of the care we deliver and constantly seek to improve it.
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.
