This is a developmental role from a B6 Resus Trainer, leading onto a B7 Resus Officer as skills and experience develop.
The successful applicant will be required to be a qualified Immediate Life Support or Paediatric Immediate Life Support instructor. On appointment the postholder would be delivering training upto and including basic life support and immediate life support training across BCU services, and other healthcare settings as the B6 Resuscitation Trainer.
