Join us and help tackle health inequalities by supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.
About the Role
Sirona's Community Homeless Health Team supports individuals who are homeless, sofa surfing and in temporary and emergency accommodation. We help 'bridge the gap' and promote re-engagement with health care.
This is an opportunity to engage with individuals facing complex health challenges, including those experiencing homelessness. You’ll deliver holistic, evidence-based care — from assessment and diagnosis to treatment and follow-up — while working both independently and as part of a strong multi-agency team.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to tackling health inequalities by working with the most vulnerable groups.
- Proactively engage with individuals who have identified health inequalities at a range of venues in local communities, helping them to improve their lifestyle and overall health.
- Provide care for the patient from initial history taking, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of care.
- Work collaboratively with other agencies including health and social care professionals, specialised voluntary staff and Police to meet the needs of patients, supporting the delivery of policy and procedures, providing nurse leadership as required.
- Be self-driven demonstrating safe, evidence-based clinical decision making to deliver compassion expert care for patients who are homeless.
- Develop trust with this cohort of patients, encouraging them to access and utilise and engage with service for their often complex needs.
