Remote Monitoring Clinician - Virtual Wards
Join the Future of Patient Care
Are you a compassionate and detail-oriented healthcare professional ready to embrace innovative care delivery? Our dynamic Virtual Ward team in East Sussex is seeking a Remote Monitoring Clinician to help transform patient experiences and outcomes from the comfort of their homes.
The Virtual Ward forms part of the Urgent Community Response (UCR) team. We are a 7-day service that supports acutely unwell patients that would otherwise be in a hospital bed, supporting both early discharge from hospital and admission avoidance.
The service provides both in-person care from nursing, therapies, and social support, as well as remote monitoring of vital signs and facilitation of remote consultations and communication with patients.
We are looking for an experienced nurse, paramedic, or allied health professional (AHP) with a passion for patient care and the drive, enthusiasm, and talent to develop services to support patients on the Virtual Ward. You will want to develop your skills and push yourself outside the normal boundaries of practice.
Main Duties of the Job
The post holder will be an experienced Registered Nurse, HCPC registered Paramedic, or AHP who will work within the Virtual Ward team. We encourage applications from professionals with high-level clinical skills, knowledge, and experience in a constantly evolving environment.
As a Band 6 Remote Monitoring Clinician you will:
1. Provide leadership to the team on shift and support the development of the service through leading on projects and audits.
2. Support the clinical coordination of the team on shift.
3. Lead the onboarding and clinical management for patients on remote monitoring.
4. Develop your clinical skills in conducting remote clinical assessments and treatment for patients across the Virtual Ward pathways.
5. Develop new skills outside of your normal scope of practice to enable a single holistic assessment approach, following established escalation pathways.
The role will be primarily office-based within the Virtual Ward Hub. At present, the role is core working hours 8:00 - 16:00 / 8:00 - 18:00 with weekend/bank holiday working on a rota basis. The wider Virtual Ward service operates 7 days a week covering shifts 08:00 until 22:00.
