As University Hospitals Dorset we are a three site acute trust with ‘university hospital’ status through our partnership with Bournemouth University, working with an annual budget of £730m.

We offer highly regarded health services, employing some 10,000 staff. Our ambitious £500m transformation programme is well on the way to delivering state-of-the-art facilities over the next two years to meet the current and future healthcare needs of the populations we serve.

In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with over seven miles of sandy beaches you’ll find inspirational opportunities to achieve your perfect work/life balance. With the New Forest and the Purbecks on our doorstep, we’re also less than three hours from London by road or train. The thriving towns of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch give way to idyllic villages and unspoilt landscapes just minutes from our hospitals.

We believe that having a diverse workforce, and allowing people to be themselves, is essential in ensuring we offer an inclusive, welcoming and productive place to work.

We especially welcome applications from minority groups in the community who may be underrepresented in our workforce.

At UHD our active staff network groups are the Women's Network, Black Asian Minority Ethnic Group (BAME), Pride Network, European (EU), Pro Ability Staff Network, and the Armed Forces Support Group.

As a Trust we are proudly signed up to the Disability Confident and Armed Forces Covenant guaranteed interview schemes.

We are aware that some candidates may choose to use AI tools to support the preparation of their application. While this is not discouraged, we kindly remind applicants that submissions should remain an honest and accurate representation of your own experience and suitability. Personal integrity is an important part of the recruitment process.

The Trauma & Orthopaedic department at University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) delivers care to adult patients and the service is transforming in response to the needs of our community. Our team are always developing to be able to deliver safe, effective and patient centred care.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a proactive, highly motivated and passionate Enhanced Clinical Practitioner with excellent communication skills to take on the role of Enhanced Clinical Practitioner in the Trauma Assessment & Coordination Team (TAC team).

Working with the already established team we are seeking to recruit someone with the commitment to help us provide, develop and maintain a high quality service for patients their relatives and carers visiting the department.

The successful candidate will have previous trauma, orthopaedic and / or orthogeriatric (frailty) experience and meet the criteria of the job description and personal specification. We will also consider someone who is already on the ECP pathway.

Please note :

Elective orthopaedics is currently based at Bournemouth hospital with plans to move to Poole Hospital as part of the restructuring of services across UHD and vice versa for Trauma. Staff recruited are expected to be available to work flexibly across both Trust locations to meet service demands.
