Professional development
Professional development is a key focus for us, and we want to ensure that all of our staff have opportunities and access to the support, training and encouragement that they need for career progression. When you work for Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, you will have access to wide range of training and development opportunities.
Learning Funding
We have dedicated Learning Funding streams, providing financial support to our staff to undertake additional study if they wish to. In addition, we also off mentorship and paid time to study. This includes, apprenticeship, degree and master qualifications, the Band 2- 4 Care Certificate and other training opportunities.
Career Conversations - Coaching and Mentoring
Discussions about your development and career progression are held regularly as part of our appraisal and supervision conversations. You can also expect to receive coaching and mentoring from senior colleagues and peers throughout your career.
Managerial and Clinical Supervision
All staff will receive regular one to one managerial supervision to meet organisational service, professional and personal objectives. Supervision forms a key part of individual performance management and is the foundation on which appraisal is built. For those staff working in direct patient care, they will also receive clinical supervision, which ensures participants have the opportunity to reflect, evaluate and develop their own clinical practice and provide a support system for one another.
Leadership and Management Programmes
We offer a variety of leadership and management development opportunities for our colleagues. This includes our Admin Development Programme, the Clinical Leadership Development Programme, our OneNottsHC Programme and a bespoke 360 Leadership development tool. We also offer leadership and management workshops as part of Leadership and Management Essentials.
24 Month Preceptorship Programme
We offer a comprehensive and supportive Preceptorship Programme for up to 24 months. It is designed to support newly qualified clinicians in making the transition from student to practitioner and will enable them to develop confidence as an independent clinician, and to refine their skills, values and behaviours.
Apprenticeship Programs
As a Trust we support colleagues to seek work related qualifications, these can be achieved through apprenticeship programs from level 1-7 free to employees through the work place apprenticeship.
