Stroke Educator job at Fife Full Time

Everyday people with chest, heart and stroke conditions are leaving hospital scared and alone. You can be part of our mission to make sure that there is No Life Half Lived in Scotland.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of stroke education to help impact and improve stroke care.

By joining Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as the Stroke Educator for NHS Fife you can be the difference between people just surviving and really living.

You will be part of Scotland’s leading charity providing support to people with chest, heart and stroke conditions to live life to the full again. Our Community Health Support Services form a nationwide network of local support groups, nurses, volunteers and one-to-one support teams helping families adjust to life with a heart or lung condition or after a stroke.

As the CHSS Stroke Educator for NHS Fife you will be responsible for developing, planning and delivering appropriate evidence-based stroke education and training to support care and develop practice for health and social care staff and informal carers. Working to NHS Fife Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements, SSCA Standards of Care (SSCA 2023), National Stroke Improvement Plan (SG 2023) and Progressive Stroke Pathway (SG 2022) guidelines and standards.

This is an autonomous role and, as such, you will be responsible for all aspects of the development and roll out of a range of awareness, core and specialist stroke education and training, in association with the regional Managed Clinical Networks (MCNs) and relevant clinical subgroups.

This service is provided in partnership with NHS Fife and aims to ensure all individuals caring for people affected by stroke have the knowledge, skills, attitudes and confidence to fulfil their role to enhance the quality of services.

Some stroke education and training will be delivered in partnership with other CHSS Stroke Educators.

At CHSS, we are committed to supporting continuing professional development (CPD) through funding and training opportunities. As well as support through our Professional Registration Network. This network offers healthcare professionals across the organisation a structured, supportive drop-in environment to help them maintain their professional registration through ongoing learning, reflective practice, and peer support.
