Summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a BANK Health Care Assistant to join the Specialist Children and Young People’s Services (SCYPS) in Newham.

SCYPS are a range of busy, forward thinking and thriving child health services. This BANK post sits within the Child Development Service, working in the CHAND (CHildren with Autism in Newham Diagnosis) team but may also support across other teams as needs arise.

The postholder will work within the Specialist Children and Young People’s Service (SCYPS) in Newham based across SCYPS sites. The role will involve patient contact including growth monitoring and collection of pre-clinic information, stock ordering and management, collection of patient feedback and maintenance of infection control procedures within the clinical setting whilst ensuring a child friendly environment such as maintaining toy cleaning schedules. The post holder will undertake some admin/clerical duties as part of the role such as report formatting, appointment booking/confirmation calls, reception duties out of core hours.

The postholder will be expected to work as part of a team to provide clinical, administrative and stock maintenance support in clinical areas in the Child Development Centre across SCYPS locations in Newham and potentially in other areas of ELFT.

The postholder will be expected to carry out clinical and administrative tasks, assist the clinicians in the clinic to obtain health information and child growth measurement, collect other necessary information before the patients are seen by the clinicians, support with recording clinical activity and with collecting patient feedback. This may include booking in service users on arrival, updating demographic details on RiO. In addition, play distraction techniques may be used to support ASD assessments.

The postholder will also have a responsibility to ensure that the assigned clinical areas are tidy and ordered at all times, maintaining the hygiene and cleanliness of the environment in the outpatient clinic setting according to trust infection control procedures.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.

See job description & personal specification for details for full details of this role.

This is for Bank co-ordination of a waiting list initiative for ASD diagnostics and adhoc cover arrangements within SCYPS.
