Specialist Community Practitioner Team Lead
Jean Bishop Frailty Community Services (JB-CFS) have been operational since May 2018, providing innovative, anticipatory patient tailored care to frail residents of Hull and the surrounding areas, including those residing in care homes.
The Centre has been recognized for national awards and continues to receive outstanding patient feedback. The JB-CFS also featured on NHS England's website dedicated to the NHS Long Term Plan as the leading case study in the Ageing Well section. More recently, the team featured on a Panorama programme which assessed the innovative and new ways of working delivered by our team, supporting not only our frail population but also the demands placed on the NHS. The team at the JB-CFS feels privileged to be a part of delivering transformed care for older people in Hull.
In this role, you will provide urgent medical care to frail patients acutely unwell in their usual residence, including care homes. This is a varied opportunity for an independent prescriber with advanced practice qualifications who is passionate about caring for older and frail patients, with the drive to help further develop a high-profile service within the community.
Main Duties of the Job
You will work as an expert autonomous practitioner supported by the JB-CFS; assessing and delivering care and treatment for older people and those with frailty, working closely with the multi-disciplinary team and community services to ensure patients receive holistic and comprehensive care and support.
You will need the necessary skills to deliver services to patients with a wide range of complex clinical needs, particularly acute presentations. Experience working with patients suffering from long-term conditions would be advantageous. As team leader, you will also have time allocated to non-clinical activities for team and service development. The ability to communicate professionally and effectively while caring for patients and their carers, along with experience working within a multi-disciplinary team, is essential, as is experience/knowledge of local pathways and referral procedures.
The service is open 365 days per week with expectations for successful candidates to be included on weekend and bank holiday rotas.
