Job summary

This is an exciting opportunity to begin your advanced clinical practice journey as a Trainee Paediatric Enhanced Care Practitioner within the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at the RUH in Bath. You will join a supportive and experienced multidisciplinary urgent care team with a strong focus on the assessment and management of children and young people presenting with urgent illness and injury.

We are seeking motivated practitioners with a keen interest in paediatric urgent and emergency care who wish to develop into autonomous clinical practitioners in a dynamic and progressive environment. The role will support you to develop the knowledge, skills and clinical reasoning required to safely assess, diagnose and manage a wide range of acute paediatric presentations across the UTC and ED, working closely with senior clinicians and paediatric specialists.

You will undertake a fully funded training programme with protected supernumerary time, weekly in-house teaching alongside your university programme, and support from a dedicated educational supervisor using a structured development portfolio. Following successful completion of the academic element, you will progress to a one-year preceptorship, with ongoing supervision to consolidate skills and support the transition to independent practice. Subject to successful competency sign-off, the post will progress to Band 7.

Main duties of the job

As a Trainee Paediatric Enhanced Care Practitioner, you will undertake a structured, supervised training and competency-based development pathway within the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust. The role will support your progression towards autonomous clinical practice, with a specific focus on the assessment, diagnosis and management of children and young people presenting with urgent illness and injury to the UTC and Emergency Department interface. While exposure to a broad range of presentations will be supported, the predominant patient cohort will consist of paediatric minor injury and minor illness presentations.

You will develop advanced assessment, clinical reasoning and decision-making skills to enable safe formulation of diagnoses, delivery of appropriate treatment, effective safety-netting, and planning of onward care in collaboration with families and the wider multidisciplinary team.

The postholder will work as part of a well-established urgent care multidisciplinary team, including Enhanced Care Practitioners from nursing, physiotherapy and paramedic backgrounds. You will support nursing staff and healthcare assistants and work closely alongside medical and general practitioner colleagues, with access to senior clinical supervision and paediatric expertise throughout your training.
