About the Role
FCMS has created a home monitoring service for patients with long standing conditions e.g., COPD, Heart Failure, diabetes and hypertension. This will be to remotely monitor patients who are in a Care Home or Semi Housebound to support their GP practice. Patients will initially have an assessment to create a care plan and ensure we have all the information needed for safe admission onto the service. Patients will have access to observation equipment and links to an app to input their readings which will alert a clinician if any problems or readings are out of range.
Main Duties of the Job
We are looking for forward thinking, motivated clinicians who have a passion for new ways of working whilst providing safe patient care. The clinician will provide support monitoring alerts and may require visiting patients to provide support in their home environment, if necessary, this may be due to tech issues or setting up equipment and training when first onboarded. Our aim is to work closely with the local trust, frailty teams, community matrons, heart failure team, GP Practices, Rapid Response, and other teams in the community to provide optimum patient care.
About Us
The ethos of FCMS as a social enterprise, health and wellbeing services provider is to be passionate in its drive to ensure that patients and callers remain the central focus of all that it does. Coupled with excellent and well-established clinical governance systems and extremely effective operational expertise, it has meant that the company has the ability to strategically visualise, develop, and implement award-winning services.
Over many years we have invested in our staff so that we have a core team of highly trained individuals who can manage the needs of our patients and callers. Our staff are able to significantly improve the service delivery and user experience due to their considerable experience and commitment to what they do.
Come and be a part of our amazing team!

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
