Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an innovative and enthusiastic individual who has experience in children’s nursing and is looking for an opportunity to lead the newly formed Training branch of the Children's Community Nursing Team.
We are looking for an individual who has genuine passion for and commitment to ensure high quality, equitable and consistent education and training is delivered to education settings and other providers.

Main duties of the job
Responsibility for providing direct management and leadership to a skill mix team along with providing oversight of the coordination of training across a variety of settings in Cornwall. This includes providing specialist advice and guidance through teaching, mentoring and supervision, quality assurance through feedback and audit alongside reviewing and monitoring of clinical and professional standards of care. There is an expectation that the successful candidate will work clinically 1 day a week and at times of high demand this will likely increase.
A close working relationship with counterparts across the Integrated Care Partnership, Education settings and Regulatory bodies is a key requirement of the role.
Working for our organisation
We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
