Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
This is a part-time Community Nursing position designed to contribute to avoiding hospital admission and maintaining patients' independence in their own homes throughout the Waterlooville locality. This is achieved through routine visits and responding to Urgent Crisis Response calls, which are a key aspect of the role going forward. The UCR process involves working alongside SCAS, offering acute visits with other members of the MDT, and using community-based skill sets to reduce the need for an ambulance and prevent patient admission.
The successful candidate will actively participate in ICT/MDT meetings alongside other team members and the wider MDT disciplines, coordinating a plan of care and working autonomously within a registered practitioner's scope of practice. They will be expected to be involved in care planning and identifying person-centred care delivered in the home setting. Excellent communication skills and competence in working with the larger multidisciplinary team are essential.
The job involves a significant amount of driving; therefore, you will need to be a car owner and have access to a vehicle for work with the correct level of insurance.
Main duties of the job
Working within professional guidelines and accountability, the post-holder will manage a defined community caseload (via Nursing, Physiotherapy, or Occupational Therapy interventions) for a group of GP Practices as part of the Integrated Care Team.
The post-holder will be responsible for coordinating and delegating work, ensuring referrals are dealt with according to clinical need, and that holistic assessments and care plans are recorded in line with Trust and professional record-keeping standards. Clinical care must always meet acceptable standards of patient safety and quality outcomes.
The post-holder will work with a high degree of autonomy and professional accountability. A primary aim of the role is to prevent unnecessary admissions of patients to an acute hospital and support timely discharge into the community. The post-holder will also have responsibilities for re-enablement, rehabilitation, health protection, and promotion programmes that improve and reduce inequalities.
