The EPR Training Lead plays a pivotal role in the successful implementation of the Trust's Electronic Patient Record, leading the day to day delivery of high quality face to face training as a core part of the Trust's blended learning approach. Working at the heart of the programme, the role ensures staff are well prepared to use the system safely, effectively and confidently in clinical practice, with clear oversight of training uptake and completion.
The post holder coordinates and oversees consistent training delivery across services, working closely with trainers, clinical and corporate teams, and programme colleagues. Through hands on facilitation and practical, role based scenarios, the Training Lead supports staff to translate digital functionality into real world clinical workflows, while ensuring training activity is accurately recorded and reported.
You must have the Right to Work in the UK in order to be successfully appointed to this role. Please note, this role does not meet the required eligibility criteria for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa and therefore the Trust is unable to offer sponsorship for this particular role.
Providing visible leadership during training and go live periods, the EPR Training Lead ensures learning environments are well resourced, responsive and well organised, supports trainers in real time, and identifies and escalates risks that could impact staff readiness, patient safety or programme delivery. By maintaining high standards and delivering timely, accurate reporting, the role makes a direct contribution to system adoption, staff confidence and the successful realisation of EPR benefits.
