A Vacancy at Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust.


This is a new and important role working as part of the Virtual Ward and Urgent Community Response team, supporting local residents across Sutton.

The post holder will undertake planned visits to patients being cared for by the Virtual Ward, in their own home as an alternative to hospital admission. They will also support the Urgent Community Response by visiting patients within 2 hours, alongside a registered health care professional, to avoid admission to hospital.

A key part of the role will be to champion and support the team with remote monitoring, ensuring kits are provided to identified patients and set up in a timely manner, and that patients/carers are comfortable with this. Following a stay on the virtual ward this kit must be collected, checked and cleaned. Full training on the remote monitoring kits used will be provided.

The post holder will need to work flexibly as part of the team to meet the needs of patients. The Virtual Ward and UCR team is a dynamic, busy team and there will be the opportunity to undertake a variety of planned and unplanned visits in the community.

The post holder will undertake clinical interventions as delegated by the senior team members, and ensure a comprehensive handover is provided, including any concerns. It is essential that documentation is clear and contemporaneous, and that duplication of visits by community teams is avoided where possible.

St George’s, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group cares for a population of four million people in South West London and North East Surrey. Our sites include St George’s Hospital, one of 11 major trauma centres in the UK and the largest healthcare provider and major teaching hospital in the area; St Helier Hospital, home to the South West Thames Renal and Transplantation Unit and Queen Mary's Hospital for Children; and Epsom Hospital, home to the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC).

After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000-strong workforce.
