Please refer to the attached job description and person specification for full details of responsibilities

Arrange for pre arrival essential information to be obtained - this will ensure that pastoral support requirements can be individualised and culturally appropriate, i.e. sizing for uniforms, dietary appropriate basic food supply on arrival and accommodation appropriateness.
Develop a CPFT welcome letter to be sent prior to the arrival of the overseas clinician, setting the tone and making them feel welcomed and valued by the organisation and inclusive of why the organisation is looking forward to welcoming them and outlining what great benefits they will be getting by working as an employee of the organisation and NHS.
Develop a welcome pack in addition to the welcome letter that enhances the first impressions and deepens the overseas clinicians understanding of the organisation and Cambridgeshire & Peterborough as it encourages the overseas clinician to research the organisation and the local area which in turn will reduce anxieties.
Arrange a 'day after arrival' welcome induction and local area orientation session that includes navigating around the local community. This could include taking them to the local supermarket, helping them use the train / bus services, showing them the local church / spiritual place etc.
Arrange a welcoming event and invite previously internationally recruited clinicians, Ward Managers / Directorate Clinical Leaders and other clinical staff as part of their orientation. Also welcoming and introduce via Team Brief and other relevant Trust communication systems to further support orientation and thanks.
Arrangement of ongoing one to one sessions to offer individualised holistic support to ensure that the individual feels physically, emotionally and spiritually supported and knows how to access any help required.
Develop, implement and manage a sustainable supportive 'checking in' system that ensures knowledge of individuals' wellbeing and how things are going every few days.
