Job Title: Advanced Critical Care Practitioner

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Advanced Critical Care Practitioner (ACCP).

We are looking for a motivated and committed ACCP to join our well-established team primarily based in the Neurosciences intensive care unit. We currently have 16 ACCPS who deliver 24/7 care spread across 3 intensive care units (General, Cardiac and Neuro). The post is open to ACCPs who have successfully completed the MSc (or equivalent) in Advanced Practice (ACCP) and hold membership in the College in Intensive Care. Applicants must be credentialed and eligible to practice within the scope of practice for an ACCP.

This should be supported with a portfolio demonstrating ongoing evidence across the 4 pillars of advanced practice. You will work alongside the multidisciplinary team on the Neurosciences intensive care where we are committed to career progression with opportunities to develop and learn additional skills.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial.
