Job overview
INTERNAL VACANCY
There is an expectation that you will successfully complete your training programme in 3 years. You will be supported with 15 hours of non-clinical time per week and required to work clinically 22.5 hours per week for years 1 and 2, subject to change depending on clinical and academic requirements. These hours will be between Monday - Friday, 0900-1700 hours, whilst in years 1 and 2, but may change when on rotation to other areas outside of Acute Medicine. In year 3, you will be expected to work 37.5 hours in clinical practice. Once you have completed all your internal competencies and academic study/exams successfully, you will undergo a sign-off appraisal to progress to a Band 8a Trained ACP role, provided all conditions are met.
Once you commence in a trained ACP role, you will be required to cover a 24/7 rota in line with service needs and working requirements.
In both your training and trained posts, regardless of base location, you will be required to work cross-site.
As part of your induction, you will be required to sign the 'Commitment by Financially Sponsored Employees' document, which is part of the Trust’s Development and Training Support Policy. This confirms that if you leave the Trust before completing your development (unless your contract is terminated by the Trust for reasons other than misconduct), you agree to repay in full the proportion of fees contributed by the Trust.
