Total 4 educator job vacancies in Legal / Public / Security category in The United States of America

Job description attached. The educational component may involve direct work with patients and their carers either in person or remotely, however the main focus is to support the clinical practice and development of DCHS clinicians and so supervision, mentoring, support and education will form the bulk of the role. This may be in providing 1-1 support shadowing a trainee during their usual duties, undertaking Workplace Based Assessments (WPBAs) or reviewing patients together in a community ward, Urgent Treatment Centre, clinic or care home setting. As a qualified ECP practice educator the post-holder may be asked to provide input for trainees undertaking non-medical prescribing and clinical assessment training modules and as part of this may be asked to take the role of Practice Supervisor or Clinical Mentor for particular trainees. Appropriate training and support for undertaking these roles will be provided as required. In addition to 1-1 support for clinicians, post-holders may also be asked to facilitate small group learning from practice groups to facilitate learning from and reflection on practice and other small group teaching groups around clinical skills and examination development. There is also the opportunity for larger group teaching sessions, currently delivered remotely, to be developed and delivered on topics of specific interest and expertise, contributing to a rolling programme of clinical education on clinical practice and non-medical prescribing. It is expected that the team will mostly be self-managing whilst supported by the Clinical Director for Multi Professional Education who oversees job planning, workforce development and appraisal for the team. It is also hoped that the Practice Educators will participate in the development of a learning network of Practice Educators and Community Clinicians working across Derbyshire.
