Job overview
The core competencies will be evaluated at the start of the employment; the line manager/supervisor will identify and support learning opportunities of the post holder. Each competency will be viewed as a development goal. Assessment will be done through observation of clinical practice, feedback from members of the MDT, patients and families, discussion, and constructive feedback. The postholder have to be able to provide evidence of how they achieved each domain. Once all core competencies are achieved to their development goal the postholder may be moved from band 7 to band 8a. Further details of this process will be shared with the postholder at the start of their employment and via the Core Competencies document.
