We offer positions across many facilities in different parts of Essex, allowing AHPs to choose a location convenient for you to join.
We offer regular supervision, along with a yearly appraisal, where you will receive one-to-one support from a dedicated supervisor who will provide guidance, motivation and clinical support.
Through supervision and appraisal, we will create a personalised development plan to help you fulfil your potential.
We are committed to provide ongoing and continuous professional development for all staff. We offer exceptional education, training and development opportunities.
There are a wealth of job opportunities in EPUT. We offer AHP career clinics, where we provide space for you to explore how you feel about work, aspirations for the future and opportunities in the workplace. This can include information about apprenticeship and training opportunities and leadership development.
The Trust has a number of flexible working options available and continues to develop new ways of working to improve working lives. Read more about it here
We are here to help you come back to the work you love through a simple process. We will make sure you get all the support you need to catch up and settle down. Read more about our return-to-practice programme here
All our permanent staff are automatically enrolled onto the staff bank however this does not mean you have to work any additional shifts, but the option is there for you if you wish.
As well as working as valued members of multidisciplinary teams, our AHPs benefit from strong AHP leadership and networks. We encourage AHPs to develop their careers in a number of ways, be it as clinical experts, professional or clinical leaders or in leading and developing quality initiatives and transformation.
We have recently launched a joint Nursing and AHP Strategy “Collaborating for care” focusing on collaborating with our nursing colleagues to deliver high quality, person centred care. We have a preceptorship programme which combines multiprofessional development with profession specific support.
We continue to focus on ensuring we have the right workforce with the right skills in the right place to deliver high quality care. If you would like an opportunity to restart a great career where you are valued, supported and given opportunities to develop and maximise your potential, we would love to have you join us.
