Quality Improvement Nurse - Provider Improvement Response Team

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Provider Improvement Response Team . We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated nurses to join us, with a passion for improving quality of care. We are seeking dynamic, and solution focussed nurses who are willing to go that extra mile and to be part of a successful and effective team.

This is a crucial role in driving improvements in the quality of the adult care market. The nurses will work as part of the Provider Improvement Response Team (PIRT), which is a joint health and social care team with both nurses and local authority officers.

The key focus of this team is to work with the highest risks in the care market including services at risk of closure, those in large scale enquiry or those subject to CQC enforcement action. You will feed into the overall assessment of risk for a care service and be instrumental in ensuring the provider delivers the required improvements.

Although the team’s focus will be to prevent closure of care services, in circumstances where there is risk of an urgent closure, this team will have a lead role. There is an expectation that where there are urgent closures or significant safeguarding risks, there may be a requirement to work evenings or weekends, however the normal working pattern will be Monday\-Friday.

The position will have a combination of on\-site visits at care services, working from home and office work. You will need to be able to travel across the County. Line management for this post and the PIRT team is held by Staffordshire County Council in partnership with MPFT.

By joining Team MPFT, you will be helping your communities and in return for this, we will support you by;
