Working as part of an integrated team of clinicians, you'll contribute to the overall care of patients and families with complex needs referred to St Catherines within the community setting. Specialising in the advisory and Care Coordinator component of this support you will have shared clinical responsibility for the patients with the Hospice Medical Team. This key senior role demands expertise in specialist palliative care. You will have responsibility, with the Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT), for assessing, care planning, implementation and evaluation whilst delivering responsive, compassionate and effective patient centred care to those referred to the Hospice. The community team aligns closely with external colleagues within the Primary Care Networks integrating with the many different teams. As a team member you will contribute to a positive supportive working environment with an emphasis on team work and cooperation. You will participate in a rota system providing a 7 day a week face to face and telephone service for patients and their families. This may include visiting out of hours in exceptional circumstances. Working collaboratively with the Community Manager, the Director of Care Services and other hospice leads and managers, you'll help develop and deliver strategic objectives. When required, the postholder will also provide support and work with patients and families on the ward and the Living Well Centre/Nurse-led clinics/community engagement projects. It is anticipated that the work plan will be 20% management and teaching, 80% clinical (patient facing)
