Are you ready to join a top performing Foundation Trust in the North East of England and be part of a department committed to ensuring high quality patient care? Do you want to work in a department where no two days are the same, working in a fast‑paced environment? Our Children's and Young Person Emergency Department has recently expanded. We have upgraded facilities and created more emergency cubicles, and therefore we are looking to recruit a professional and enthusiastic Clinical Support Worker.
We look after children from birth to 16 years in this amazing new environment which is ideal when providing a first‑class service. The department has one resuscitation bed and 15 major treatment cubicles, three of which are classed as high dependency cubicles. We also have a dedicated mental health assessment room. We are co‑located with an Urgent Care Treatment Centre which deals with minor injuries and illnesses and between the UCC, Adult Emergency and CYPED departments we attend to around 14,000 patients each month. There are currently 30 staff in the paediatric department. We have a great team of Health Care Assistants, Junior and Senior Registered Nurses and Paediatric Nurse Practitioners. We also have great links with many multidisciplinary teams to enhance the care we can provide our children and their families.
Key Responsibilities
* Record observations, ECG, blood taking, nutrition and hydration needs.
* Support senior colleagues.
* Support children and families during attendance.
* Promote and deliver patient‑centred care aligned with the Trust vision and Nursing and Midwifery strategy.
* Provide the highest standard of safe, effective and compassionate care through the effective use of evidence‑based practice.
* Support a continuously improving service, in line with the clinical governance framework, Trust objectives and the NHS performance framework.
* Develop professionally to ensure the post holder has the appropriate level of skill, knowledge and competence to meet service/specialty requirements.
* Help maintain a clean and safe department.
* Perform procedures for other qualified/unqualified staff to support their development.
* Be part of a team that recognizes, responds and appropriately manages emergencies.
