The single corporate service is delivered across both organisations. This is a site-specific role however you may be required to undertake business travel between sites. For leaders managing staff across multi-site locations, you will need to be visible and provide in person leadership. The arrangements and frequency will be agreed locally. Deliver health and safety training programmes, independently or with support of senior colleagues, in both classroom and workplace settings, with a particular focus on: • Patient Moving and Handling • Inanimate Load Handling. Communication and Working Relationships The post holder will be providing and receiving routine information orally, in writing or electronically to inform work colleagues, patients, clients, carers, the public or other external contacts. The communication will include; a) Providing and receiving routine information which requires tact or persuasive skills or where there are barriers to understanding. b) providing and receiving complex or sensitive information. c) providing advice, instruction, or training to groups, where the subject matter is straightforward. You will be an excellent communicator who enjoys working with people at all levels. You'll be organised, proactive and confident delivering training and advice, with a genuine commitment to improving workplace safety and supporting others to work safely and effectively. If you're looking for a role where you can combine practical problem-solving, training, collaboration and continuous improvement while helping make the NHS a safer place to work, we'd love to hear from you.
