Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust
Do you think you have what it takes to lead and manage a team of nurses striving to transform Community Care across the One Gloucestershire Integrated Care system (ICS), based in the Cheltenham locality? If you have extensive community nursing experience and you are looking for a new challenge and career development this might be the next job role for you.
In this ever changing, modernising, NHS environment we need nurses who are flexible, innovative and resilient enough to rise to the challenge of a very rewarding role. We seek nurses with compassion, who hold patient experience and high-quality care at the heart of their nursing practice.
In order to be considered for this post you will either have achieved or be almost completing your Specialist Practitioner Qualification (SPQ) in District Nursing.
A full driving licence and use of vehicle for work purposes is required for this role.
Main duties of the job
In addition to being an expert in your field in possession of extended competencies, you will need to demonstrate excellent communication skills to elicit an accurate, holistic assessment of patient needs as part of a case management approach. We offer training and support to move towards greater engagement with our patient population.
As part of the role you will be required to work within a dedicated referral centre and will possess critical thinking & negotiating skills to aid the triage process. You will be responsible for managing a defined caseload of patients with delegated responsibilities to your Band 5 nursing team to support continuity of care for patients as part of the nursing model of care. Prior experience with electronic patient record IT systems (e.g. System One) is advantageous; however, full support and training will be given.
You will be keenly aware of the importance of collaborative working and have some understanding of the services and other professions within the newly merged Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust including our own Therapy colleagues within the ICT (Integrated Community Team), GP surgeries, Rapid Response and Complex Care at Home ensuring the right care is delivered at the right time, by the right professional for patients.
