Job summary

CLCH Hertfordshire Adult Community Services - CLCH NHS Trust provides a range of Community Services, and the Hertfordshire Division is recruiting!

We are looking for forward thinking, passionate staff who can take a positive risk management approach to support the frail population to remain at home when acutely unwell, within our Hospital at Home service in West Hertfordshire. The Hospital at Home model has been developed with our system partners West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital Trust and will blend digital monitoring and face to face care to facilitate acutely unwell patients out of hospital to home quicker or by preventing hospital admissions.

This is a new service and expands upon of our existing virtual hospital models within the system and has been implemented in line with National Guidance. The team is clinically led by a Frailty Nurse Consultant and the service delivered by Advanced Clinical Practitioners, Enhanced Clinical Practitioners, senior nurses and therapists and support workers.

Main duties of the job

The Hospital at Home service sits within the Unplanned Care Business Unit and will align with CLCH's Urgent Community Response service and cover the four localities in West Hertfordshire: Dacorum, Watford and Three Rivers, Hertsmere and St Albans and Harpenden.

We welcome applications from those with an OT background to build upon the existing ECP team. We anticipate that successful applicants will embark on modules to work towards the Enhanced Clinical Practice framework.

System working with our acute hospitals will be a key aspect to the delivery of this service which will generate the opportunity for you to develop skills in system working and service development.
