Staffingsolutionsguide.Pdf A Guide to Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust Services for Flexible Workers This guide for Flexible Workers will provide you with information about the different areas of the Trust that you may wish to work, including where each service is based, the roles available in the service and any additional training or experience you might need to work there. As well as providing the Trust with valuable staff in core areas, Flexible Workers can also use the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge in a variety of different services. While you may not be able to work in all areas straight away, the Staffing Solutions team will work with you to identify any training requirements and support you to work across different parts of the Trust. When we receive your Flexible Worker application, the Staffing Solutions team will contact you to discuss the areas that you have the skills to work in and any other areas that you may wish to work in. You can review where you work at any time if you want to expand the services you can work in. You are also not obliged to work in all services in a particular area and can opt out of specific services if you wish. Mandatory training is required for all Flexible Worker positions; in most cases this needs to be completed within 3 months of starting work with us, but some training needs to be completed before you can work. Please get in touch if you need any additional information about training requirements or any of the services featured in this guide.

These problems can range from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, postnatal depression and other depressive disorders, to enduring anxiety and personality disorders. The teams give people the support they need to continue a full and active life in the community and work closely with GPs, service users and carers, and other key partners to achieve this. The teams are made up of a number of different staff, including psychiatrists, psychologists, community psychiatric nurses (CPNs), approved social workers, occupational therapists and support workers. The AMHTs comprise of an Assessment Team and a Treatment Team and some services provide day hospitals. Flexible Workers are usually required for the Assessment Teams.

  • Comments on the Proposed Boundary Changes to South-East
    Comments on the proposed boundary changes to south‐east Oxford As the Chair of Rose Hill and Iffley Low Carbon Community Group, I would argue that the proposed changes make little sense and that the existing ward boundaries should be retained, with the leeway for change mentioned below. Councillors should represent communities, not raw numbers. The natural boundaries of our ward (Rose Hill and Iffley) are the river, ring‐road, Rose Hill/Henley Avenue and Donnington Recreation Ground ‐ or Donnington Bridge Road if a greater number of residents is needed. If a lower number of residents is needed, the area around Westbury Crescent could be moved into Cowley ward as most people regard it as Cowley. We should keep all the houses on both sides of Rose Hill (the road) as it wouldn't make sense to live on Rose Hill and not in it! Our group would be badly affected by the proposed boundary change as we based our choice of name on the fact that they constitute one ward. We have active members in both Rose Hill and Iffley and this helps to bring the two communities together. It has always been helpful to ask known Councillors to represent us on key issues and to build a working relationship with them. It would be very complicated if we had to refer to multiple Councillors in a number of different communities. Rose Hill and Iffley share common resources ‐ the river, the church, Iffley Meadows, the No 3 bus into the town centre, the allotments, the recreation ground and now Rose Hill Community Centre, which provides facilities such as the gym to the whole community.

  • The Field Names of Cowley.Pdf
    The field names of Cowley Christopher Lewis Cowley and its common fields When I refer to ‘Cowley’ I usually mean the area defined by the Enclosure Commissioners in 1853, encompassing all those detached areas of other parishes.1 The common fields of Cowley stretched from the banks of the Cherwell, south-eastwards to the old Roman Road and the borders with Horspath, Littlemore and Iffley, with a small detached portion on the slopes of Shotover Hill, known as Elder Stumps. A brook, now known as Boundary Brook, runs east to west across this area. Originally it meandered across the fields slightly south of its present course, but it was straightened, and probably deepened, at the time of the Enclosure. Our knowledge of the field names, and where they are in the landscape, mostly comes from maps made for Corpus Christi College, Christ Church, and Pembroke College, and then later in a series of Tithe maps and Enclosure maps. Field boundaries, parish boundaries, and roads are not necessarily coincident, and the boundaries of the open fields are not always shown on the maps. The earliest map that shows the borders of the fields was made for Christ Church by William Chapman in 1777 and names the larger fields as Millam, Long Mead, Compass Field, Ridge Field, Bartholomew Field, The Lakes, Cowley Marsh, and Lye Hill all north of the brook, and Wood Field, Fur Field, Broad Field, and Church Field to the south.2 Other names appear in the documents, sometimes as alternative names for the same pieces of ground, and sometimes seeming more important than the names on the Chapman map.

  • Response to Boundary Commission's Draft Recommendations on the New
    Response to Boundary Commission’s Draft Recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Oxford City Council (June 2018) Report prepared by Oxford East Green Party with the support of local residents 12th August 2018 FINAL VERSION 1 1. Introduction The Boundary Commission’s Draft Recommendations (June 2018) are, in almost all respects, the same as those presented to them by Oxford City Council’s Labour Group. There are only minor revisions reflecting some errors in the City’s initial calculations and some small changes suggested by the Boundary Commission. Oxford City Council has, very recently (7th August 2018 – going to the City’s Executive Board on 14th August 2018), suggested some minor refinements in response to these Draft Recommendations1 but has, perhaps not surprisingly given their provenance, largely accepted them. Unfortunately, the original proposals are – in the East of the City at least (St. Clement’s, Bartlemas and Donnington Wards) – not driven by the need to more accurately reflect community interests and identities or promote more effective and convenient local government. They were, as one Labour Councillor said to a Green Councillor in a cross-party review group; “designed to make sure you lot can’t get re-elected”. In this alternative arrangement of wards in East Oxford, we use evidence and examples to present our alternative to the Draft Recommendations for new wards we have provisionally named St. Clements, Bannister and Cricket Wards. This alternative arrangement maintains electoral equality whilst better: • Reflecting community boundaries and identities • Promoting more effective and convenient local government These proposals were accepted by Oxford City Council’s Electoral Services Manager, Martin John, as being a viable alternative arrangement of the three wards referred to in the Draft Recommendations as St.

  • Blackbird Leys Field-Names
    Hidden landscapes of Blackbird Leys – circular walk Discover the ancient natural landscape of Blackbird Leys through its place-names and old field-names Katie Hambrook This walk uses place-names and field-names to reconstruct the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval landscapes of Blackbird Leys, introducing you to the earliest named inhabitants of the area. The walk is about 3km long, taking about an hour and starting near the Sandy Lane West bus stop on Blackbird Leys Road. Blackbird Leys was originally part of the township of Littlemore, which extended from the Thames in the west to the eastern edge of Blackbird Leys; it bordered the parishes of Iffley and Cowley to the north, and Sandford to the south. From the Middle Ages until Enclosure in 1819 there were five great open fields that made up the arable fields of Littlemore – where crops were grown. These open fields were divided into sections called furlongs and people would have had their land in separate strips distributed in various furlongs around Littlemore. This walk looks at the old names of these fields and furlongs, as well as the names of meadows, pastures, springs and streams, helping you see Blackbird Leys through the eyes of its past inhabitants.
