Virtual Ward Clinical Coordinator
The Virtual Ward
The Virtual Ward forms part of the Urgent Community Response (UCR) team. We are a 7-day service that supports acutely unwell patients that would otherwise be in a hospital bed, supporting both early discharge from hospital and admission avoidance. The team responds to the needs of patients in the place they call home.
The service provides both in-person care from nursing, therapies, and social support, as well as remote monitoring of vital signs and facilitation of remote consultations and communication with patients.
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced nurse, paramedic, allied health professional (AHP) with a passion for new ways of delivering patient care. You will possess the drive, enthusiasm, and talent to develop services to support patients on the Virtual Ward and lead the coordination and remote monitoring team based within our Virtual Ward Hub. We are seeking someone who wants to develop their skills in leadership and develop a service at the forefront of healthcare delivery.
The post holder will be an experienced Registered Nurse, HCPC registered Paramedic, or AHP who will hold a key position within the Virtual Ward team. We would encourage applications from professionals with high-level clinical skills, knowledge, and experience in a constantly evolving environment, with a passion for developing digitally enabled healthcare.
