You will join a supportive and experienced multidisciplinary urgent care team with a strong focus on the assessment and management of children and young people presenting with urgent illness and injury.
Role Requirements
We are seeking motivated practitioners with a keen interest in paediatric urgent and emergency care who wish to develop into autonomous clinical practitioners in a dynamic and progressive environment. The role will support you to develop the knowledge, skills, and clinical reasoning required to safely assess, diagnose, and manage a wide range of acute paediatric presentations across the UTC and ED, working closely with senior clinicians and paediatric specialists.

Role Details
As a Trainee Paediatric Enhanced Care Practitioner, you will undertake a structured, supervised training and competency-based development pathway within the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust. The role will support your progression towards autonomous clinical practice, with a specific focus on the assessment, diagnosis, and management of children and young people presenting with urgent illness and injury to the UTC and Emergency Department interface. While exposure to a broad range of presentations will be supported, the predominant patient cohort will consist of paediatric minor injury and minor illness presentations.
You will develop advanced assessment, clinical reasoning, and decision-making skills to enable safe formulation of diagnoses, delivery of appropriate treatment, effective safety-netting, and planning of onward care in collaboration with families and the wider multidisciplinary team.
The postholder will work as part of a well-established urgent care multidisciplinary team, including Enhanced Care Practitioners from nursing, physiotherapy, and paramedic backgrounds. You will support nursing staff and healthcare assistants and work closely alongside medical and general practitioner colleagues, with access to senior clinical supervision and paediatric expertise throughout your training.
