We are looking for enthusiastic, self-motivated NMC/HCPC Registered Nurse’s, Paramedics or Physiotherapists with the right attributes to work alongside our multidisciplinary team within the Emergency Department (ED) and integrated Urgent Treatment Care (iUTC) at Peterborough City Hospital (PCH).
We are able to support successful candidate(s) with further academic study and training and developing technical skills. This role also attracts Supporting Professional Activities (SPA) time for Practitioners to undertake personal and service development. Therefore, we look for the candidate(s) with the right attributes and characteristics for our team. We will assess people not only on their academic and technical achievements but on their non-technical and communication skills.
Our ACP’s also spend time teaching, training, supporting and developing trainee and junior staff from nursing, medical and allied healthcare professional backgrounds as part of their role.

The post holder will form part of a multi-disciplinary team aspiring to achieve local and national standards across different areas of the department, whilst providing formal and informal education, teaching, and mentorship, second opinion advice and support to junior clinicians during a span of duty. The post holder will demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills and clinical attributes, enabling him/her to provide expert clinical and professional support to other clinicians and staff within their area of work of the UEC division.
