Training Lead – RRI (AVERTS) Program
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Trusts Learning and Development Team as a Training Lead for the Trusts RRI (AVERTS) Fundamental Training Programme. AVERTS is a Trust‑owned reduction of restrictive intervention training programme that is delivered Trust‑wide. The post‑holder will be responsible for the leadership and direct line management of the RRI (AVERTS) training team and will work closely with Learning and Development colleagues to ensure sufficient training is planned to meet the requirements of the organisation.
The post‑holder will also be responsible for monitoring the content of the RRI training programme to ensure it meets the ongoing needs of BSMHFT and will work alongside the Trainers and SME for RRI to make changes that are commensurate with national policy and best practice guidelines. The Training Lead will also be required, on occasions, to assist in the delivery of the RRI training and will also work closely with the RRI consultants to ensure that there is direct assimilation of training from the classroom into clinical practice. This will include visiting and co‑delivering training within clinical areas with the wider RRI team. The post‑holder will need to be able to travel across the Trust to multiple sites as part of this role. A recognised teaching qualification would be advantageous; previous trainer experience is desirable but not essential.
