Specialist Practitioner - Nurse, AHP, Paramedic

Autonomous Role in Community Same Day Services

Are you looking for an autonomous role, where you can continue to help shape the future of our community same day services?

Are you passionate about helping avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and caring for and treating our patients in their place of residence?

This key role within our urgent community response service supports provision of high quality care for people experiencing immediate health and care crisis and needing intervention at home to prevent hospital admission (where safe to do so).

The role provides the successful clinician with an opportunity to work within our community same day care services and help test, inform and finesse their continued development within the community.

Our same day care services currently operate on a shift basis working over seven (7) days a week 8am to 8pm, so flexible working into the evenings, over some weekends and bank holidays will be required. We are open to flexible and part time hours and the post is available part-time (minimum 30 hours per week) or full-time (37.5 hours per week).

(This role is subject to job evaluation and therefore some duties may change).

Key Responsibilities

• Provide a rapid response to people in health and social care crisis situations with the aim of enabling individuals to maintain or regain independence and prevent unnecessary hospital admission.
• Help play a key role in continuing to help people manage their long-term conditions, making sure they receive the right kind of support to help them remain independent and live longer and linking in with our healthcare and charity based colleagues in the wider community.
• Work alongside our Community Nursing and Therapy Teams, South Central Ambulance Service, General Practice and Oxford University Hospital colleagues with the opportunity to work across many facets of Community services.
