Resuscitation Officer
Band 8a
West London NHS Trust provides a full range of mental health, community and physical healthcare services for children, adults and older people living in the London boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and Hounslow.
We also provide some specialist services that are commissioned regionally, such as our medium secure services; and nationally, such as the Cassel Hospital for people with complex and severe personality disorder and our high secure services at Broadmoor Hospital.
Job overview
Are you a Registered Nurse or Paramedic, with a strong background in resuscitation within the NHS? We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Resuscitation Officer to join our team and play a key role in improving patient safety and emergency response across the Trust.
As a clinical expert in resuscitation, you will provide both strategic and operational leadership on the management of deteriorating patients. You will design and deliver high-quality training, including simulation-based exercises, and support staff to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to respond effectively to medical emergencies. Working closely with colleagues in Clinical Governance, Learning and Development, and across all directorates, you will ensure national standards are met and lessons from incidents are embedded into practice.
This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic professional with strong communication and people skills. You will be a visible leader, supporting services in developing a culture of safety and continuous improvement, while ensuring resuscitation policies, procedures, and equipment are standardised and compliant across the Trust.
If you are passionate about resuscitation, patient safety, and supporting staff to deliver the highest standards of care, we would love to hear from you.

The post holder will be expected to build strong and collaborative partnerships with key stakeholders across the wider NHS, and within the Trust’s own clinical and corporate services.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated professional to make a significant impact on patient safety, quality of care, and staff development across the organisation.
