Description

Assessment of medical fitness to drive and passenger assessment are dynamic and evolving fields which require a commitment to professional excellence, a proven record of continued professional development, as well as an ambition to develop your career within a specialist rehabilitative service.

Part of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear (CNTW) NHS Foundation Trust, NEDM is jointly funded by the Integrated Care Board and the Department for Transport.

NEDM is part of the national coverage of Mobility Centres accredited by Driving Mobility*.

Our main centre is based at Walkergate Park Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, with outreach services located in Cumbria and Teesside.

Driving Mobility is the UK wide network of Mobility Centres providing assessment, advice and information on all aspects of personal mobility. Driving Mobility is the umbrella organisation for all Accredited Mobility Centres. It ensures that there are common standards, promotes good practice, offers training and education, and works closely with organisations such as the Department for Transport, the DVLA, Motability, police and varied healthcare professionals.

You will have an ability to communicate effectively with service users, health professionals and major stakeholders including DVLA, Motability and the police, as well as having a passion for developing services in line with service user and stakeholder needs.

Based at Walkergate Park Hospital in Newcastle and working flexibly between our outreach bases in Carlisle and Teesside once per week, this is an opportunity to become part of a busy, specialist clinical assessment team.

You will also have the opportunity to train in powered wheelchair/mobility scooter and specialist child car seat assessments as part of your development.

An induction period is provided with ongoing workplace training to support your professional development in this specialist role.

You will also be required to complete a mandatory Oxford Brookes University post-graduate certificate in Driving Assessment and Outdoor Mobility, which will be fully funded as part of your role.

Car driver (full licence holder) is essential to the role.

We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future.
