We are looking for a registered professional—adult or paediatric nurse, allied health professional, or midwife—desiring to work as a member of our Resuscitation and Clinical Simulation Services Team. You must have current experience working in an acute hospital setting and have evidence of recent clinical experience with acutely unwell or deteriorating patients on a frequent and regular basis.

You will be interested in developing specialist knowledge across resuscitation, simulation‑based education, and human factors. The role requires you to be a Resuscitation Council UK Adult Immediate Life Support, and/or Paediatric Immediate Life Support course instructor, or nominated as instructor candidate and working towards instructor status. You will then proceed to develop as an Advanced Life Support (ALS) provider. An 18‑month training period to achieve advanced course provider status is required.

You will also be involved in patient safety improvements and initiatives and clinical audit programmes across the different Trust sites. You must be an enthusiastic teacher and prepared to work in a small dynamic team.

Attend and follow up on 2222 calls, ensuring that best‑practice guidelines have been followed and supporting junior members of the team who attend these calls. Deliver or work toward delivering intermediate‑level nationally accredited and governed resuscitation courses—such as Immediate Life Support, Paediatric Immediate Life Support, and Advanced Life Support—ensuring quality standards are achieved. Have difficult conversations when standards have not been met and create action plans to rectify this.

Deliver resuscitation and deteriorating patient education to all staff across all Trust sites. Utilize simulation‑based education to develop both the skills of resuscitation and human‑factor non‑technical skills, including but not limited to adult, paediatric, and newborn basic life support, automated external defibrillation, urgent treatment of patients in adversity (UTOPIA), and respiratory UTOPIA.

Develop project plans and work toward leading the implementation, delivery, and evaluation of key programmes of work, tailoring programmes to suit multi‑professional staffing groups and ensuring they are delivered within agreed timescales.
