Freelance Clinical Trainer

You are busy, fed up with employers promising you the world and then letting you down, and you don’t have much time to faff around with job applications.

We get it, and the last thing we want to do is waste your time.

We ask all applicants to read the job description thoroughly, not scroll down to the pay section, and apply.

Why is this important?

For many reasons, your time is ultimately valuable, and if we are not a good fit for the job description part, we wouldn’t want to take up any more of your time.

What are we looking for?

Experienced Clinical/Educator/Nurse trainers who enjoy passing on their up-to-date knowledge to learners of different levels.

Requirements

Must-Have:

Subject and hands-on practical experience in topics such as:

• Venepuncture
  
• Suction and Oxygen
  
• Tracheostomy
  
• Catheterisation
  
• Syringe Driver
  
• Cough Assist
  
• PEG Feeding
  

Preferred:

• CHAPS
  
• Ear Irrigation
  

You must be:

Confident in your communication skills to be able to teach various levels of staff within health and social care, including phone calls.

Reliable - we highly value the efforts of our customers to arrange training. We understand that on occasions, life may get in the way and plans change, but we cannot work with individuals who don't value our customers’ time and frequently cancel commitments at short notice.

IT is literate – you must be able to use email, zoom, WhatsApp, team calendar (only office staff can access what is entered). Using online forms such as register, and trainer evaluations, showing learners where to get the online feedback form, and using it to request hotel stays and equipment if needed.

Excellent time management - we ask all trainers to inform us 48 hours in advance if paperwork has yet to arrive. This allows us to sort it out for the smooth running of courses. We provide all paperwork and course materials.

Have experience working within Health and Social Care and have hands-on and theory subject knowledge as well as previous teaching experience (PTLLS or equivalent required).

Honest- if we ask you to do a course and you don’t have the experience, say no. This won’t have a negative impact on us working with you in the future, and we would much prefer this way of working.

Adaptable and flexible - sometimes the postman is late, and we must think on our feet using all our experience; sometimes projectors don't work, but there is still a class or eager delegates waiting for an enjoyable and informative session. You must be experienced in both subject and training to, from time to time, work with what is available, and that may be just your knowledge and a flip-chart - this should not result in a negative experience for trainers or delegates.

Have experience with completing documentation accurately and sending it in by the end of the training session. This is the class register and trainer evaluation forms etc.

We appreciate that you may not solely work for us and may have other commitments, but we treat our freelance trainers as team members and are looking to grow our team with people who want to support us and represent Caring for Care as much as we keep our trainers.

Consider what you would want in a trainer if you were a delegate, or if your loved one requires care and support, who would you want to train the staff? This is the trainer we want.

Essentials:

• Full driving license
  
• Experience in health and social care
  
• Doctor or Nurse with valid NMC/GMC
  
• PTLLS / AET/ PGCE
  
• Able to travel across the UK - The broader range of travel, the more work we can provide. We do our utmost to reduce travel for our trainers, but sometimes it is unavoidable.
  
• Enjoys training and meeting new people.
  
• Ability to work with our processes – even if these differ from other employers.
  

You made it this far – obviously an excellent trainer!
