Job Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Acute Clinical Team in Bridgend as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner/Trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner.
ACT is part of the wider Community Resource Team (CRT) in Bridgend and provides a hospital admission avoidance service, responding rapidly to people in crisis because of frailty and/or managing acute medical problems at home.
This is a multi-disciplinary team of Consultants, Advanced Practitioners, Nurses, Physiotherapists, OTs, and Health Care Support Workers supported by the wider MDT in CRT which includes Social Workers, SALT, Dietitians, Pharmacy, and Mental Health Professionals.
Professionals who are Nurses, Physiotherapists, and Paramedics by professional registration are invited to apply for this position.
While professionals who meet the person specification and hold appropriate M.Sc. level education (such as an M.Sc. in Advanced Clinical Practitioner and Independent Prescribing qualifications) are desirable, we will consider applicants who can demonstrate they are a good fit for the service and have relevant, transferrable skills, education, and experience to be taken on in a trainee ACP role.
Main Duties of the Job
Any applicant taken on in a trainee ACP capacity will be offered the position under Annex 21 of the Terms and Conditions for Agenda for Change. Details are contained in the attached JD/PS titled ACP Annex 21.
The role is clinical, and Practitioners are required to see and assess people in their own homes who present with a wide array of clinical and often frailty-related problems. Taking a clinical history, undertaking clinical examination and work up with our Consultants, and delivering treatment and care form the core of the role.
The role also has substantial leadership and management aspects with Practitioners taking the lead of a team of multi-professionals, delegating and allocating work, managing an acute and clinical caseload, and acting as both a gatekeeper to the service as well as the point of clinical escalation.
Practitioners will also be involved in training and education initiatives including engaging with the Universities and Practitioners will be involved in the audit, research, and strategic development of the service.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
