Join Us as a C(E)TR Chair – Lead with Purpose

We’re seeking experienced, respectful individuals with strong facilitation skills to become Delegated Chairs for Care (Education) & Treatment Reviews (C(E)TRs).

C(E)TRs are guided by national policy and rooted in human rights, person-centeredness and co-production. Chairs lead independent panels that are inclusive, evidence-based and action-focused.

Key Responsibilities

  • Ensure reviews reflect NHSE DSR/C(E)TR values
  • Support panel members equally
  • Facilitate open dialogue
  • Escalate urgent concerns
  • Promote accessible communication
  • Summarise findings with SMART recommendations
  • Liaise with commissioners

You will not have employee status.

Panel members are required to travel to the units that they are carrying out the reviews at.

Care, (Education) and Treatment Review (C(E)TRs) seek to improve the quality-of-care people receive in hospital by asking key questions and making recommendations that lead to improvements in safety, care and treatment. They aim to reduce the amount of time people spend in hospital and bring people together to help to sort out any problems which can keep people in hospital longer than necessary. C(E)TRs do this by helping to improve current and future care planning, including plans for leaving hospital.

C(E)TRs are carried out by an independent panel of people. This includes a commissioner (‘Chair’ – or a person delegated on behalf of East of England Provider Collaborative), an expert by experience (EbE), who is an autistic person or a person with a learning disability or a family carer with lived experience of services. The panel also includes a clinical expert who is qualified to work in healthcare and the commissioner who pays for the person’s care.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health and social care organisation dedicated to providing high-quality care with compassion to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting and empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.

Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services, not only via inpatient and primary care settings, but also within the community. These services include children's, adult and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, research and development.

To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high-calibre candidates who share our vision and values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including people with long term conditions and members of our ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ communities.

Regrettably, we cannot offer sponsorship for all our job roles. If you apply for a role that we cannot offer sponsorship for, unfortunately, your application form will be rejected from the process.

Please be advised we reserve the right to close adverts earlier than the closing date should we receive sufficient applications
