Description

Here is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a community consultant in an integrated families division.

This up to 8 PA newly created post is to support the recently developed neurodevelopmental pathway as the team continues to ensure the delivery of high-quality regional level key performance indicators for families on the pathway.

Our paediatric team has got a strong reputation of providing both undergraduate and postgraduate training.

Our team hosts both MRCPCH and DCH examinations on yearly basis and you will be encouraged to develop as an examiner for Royal Colleges.

There is a dedicated leadership training programme in the trust for development of new consultant with strong ethos around coaching and mentoring.

Job Description pending Royal College approval

The post advertised is a newly created role that backfills existing Community Consultant activity as the team has been re-organised to meet the requirements of the Neuro-developmental (ND) pathway.

The postholder will take part in the range of activities needed to serve a geographical catchment, allowing community-based building of strong inter-professional and organisational relationships.

Our delivery of the Neuro-developmental pathway has been recognised by our partners and commissioners and led to the creation of this role to continue the high quality multi-agency child focussed assessment and support work that it delivers.

There is no on call component in this role, although there may be some responsibility for acute safeguarding assessments along with the wider team.

The Trust's mission is "Together We Care" which encompasses the strategic vision for operating as a high performing organisation within an Integrated Care System (ICS), which provides quality, safe and effective care.

This will be achieved in a financially sustainable way through our values-driven, skilled and motivated workforce:

People-centred - Serving people is the focus of everything we do;
Positive - having a "can do" response whatever the situation;
Compassion - always demonstrating we care;
Excellence - continually striving to provide the best care possible.

Our Values are drivers for the behaviours that all our staff strive to demonstrate.

The values and behaviours have been and continue to be embedded and communicated across the organisation via a number of initiatives - including our recruitment processes, corporate induction, team briefings, meetings, appraisals and our annual awards ceremony.

The post holder will cover a catchment of schools within the Blackpool area, joining colleagues with catchments in Fylde and Wyre.

They will see children in school age community clinics, as well accepting neurodevelopmental pathway referrals from these areas with administrative and clinical support from the neurodevelopmental team.

Time is provided in the job plan for pathway panel meetings and panel feedback.

The post holder will also attend the child developmental centre twice a week, contributing to the pre-school age service and therefore offering a varied clinical caseload as part of this exciting new opportunity.

The postholder will also work in the Blackpool school-aged setting as the link doctor covering a catchment of schools.

Referrals for children within this catchment will be accepted, as well as specific referrals on the Neuro-developmental pathway from these same schools with support of the central ND admin and clinical team.
