Locala Health and Wellbeing embraces diversity and inclusion and encourages applicants from all backgrounds. We aim to have a workforce that represents the wider communities we live and work within. We celebrate and value the individuality of our colleagues' lived experiences and adapt accordingly, recognizing the value inclusivity brings when delivering equitable, high-quality healthcare to our local communities.
As a key member of the Virtual Ward, you’ll support patients with acute Frailty and/or Respiratory needs, providing acute care in the community instead of a hospital setting. The Virtual Ward service offers acute care at home to Kirklees residents 7 days a week between the hours of 8am and 8pm, with some out of hours support to ensure our patients are safe.
The patients are supported across Kirklees by a dedicated team, with oversight from Acute Consultants and appropriate clinicians. The service operates as part of a Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield (CKW) approach and includes a multidisciplinary team with Locala colleagues, including Frailty Nurses, Respiratory Nurses, Therapists, and Health Care Support Workers. We work in partnership with clinicians within the local Acute Trusts to ensure patients receive a holistic and safe service.
Locala is a ‘Disability Confident’ employer, and any disabled applicants who meet all the essential criteria are guaranteed to be invited to the assessment process.
Come and join the 'Hospital at Home' team and support our new service, working alongside our colleagues across Calderdale, Kirklees, and Wakefield. Find out more about Locala with our Thrive Strategy.
