Trainee Clinical Endoscopist Maidstone
Job description
An exciting training opportunity has arisen to become a Clinical Endoscopist and work with a team of 7 other Clinical Endoscopists across our two Endoscopy Units at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust. MTW Endoscopy is a JAG accredited unit and recently awarded with JAG training centre status: the Endoscopy training Hub for Kent and Medway, part of the South-East Endoscopy Academy. We are looking for a dynamic and motivated individual to train to become a clinical endoscopist, joining our very busy and expanding endoscopy service. You will be supported to develop towards a recognised advanced clinical role with commitment to the 4 pillars of advanced practice. You will be working closely with an existing team of clinical endoscopists and consultant gastroenterologists and GI surgical consultants. Once independent, you will be expected to provide high standards of care and achieve national targets to meet service needs and ensure JAG accreditation. As a trainee clinical endoscopist, you will be given support to become independent in GI endoscopy and will play a crucial role in delivering high-quality patient care, contributing to the success of the MTW Endoscopy Unit's goals and maintaining its reputation as a trusted healthcare provider. Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is a large acute hospital Trust in the county of Kent. The Trust provides a full range of general hospital services and some areas of specialist complex care to around 760,000 people living in the south part of West Kent and the north part of East Sussex. The Trust’s core catchment areas are Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells and their surrounding boroughs. We work from two main clinical sites: Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury. Tunbridge Wells Hospital opened in 2011 and provides single rooms with en-suites for all in-patients – the first of its kind in the country. We employ more than 7,000 full and part-time staff in a huge range of clinical and non-clinical roles across both of our hospital sites. Once your pre-employment checks have been completed you will be contacted by Recruitment to arrange your start date which will be in line with one of our Corporate Inductions. Following your Corporate Induction you will be expected to attend the Trust’s 2-week Induction Programme for RNs, NAs, RMs, ODPs and Paramedics. The programme is full-time (please email [email protected] if this is problematic) and will involve travel to both Trust sites. The programme includes supernumerary shifts in the clinical area, classroom-based sessions and e-learning. Please note that appointment to this post will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure & Barring Service Check at Enhanced Level. (Enhanced level now includes regulated checks against vulnerable adults and children) At MTW, we seek to develop a culture where everyone can reach their full potential with opportunities to grow and develop their career. We recognise and value the unique contributions that each of our staff bring, delivering the best quality care and service to our patients. We are committed to being a diverse employer and strive to reflect everyone in our local communities. We welcome applications from people of diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences and celebrate the diversity of thought, viewpoints and ideas that will make our Trust the best place to work.
