Description

The Complex Care at Home service provides proactive, preventative case management to a mainly frail older cohort of patients living in Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Forest of Dean.

This position is based in Gloucester, with the expectation you would support colleagues in other localities as required.

The team consists of Case Managers/Matrons who come from nursing and allied health professional backgrounds, complimented by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, wellbeing coordinators, care navigators from adult social care, frailty housing officers and clinical support and advice from Consultant Geriatricians.

The skills required for the role include advanced clinical assessment skills and the ability to work autonomously.

Experience of working in the community would be a distinct advantage and the ability and willingness to provide clinical support to other members of the team is essential.

You will have developed your enhanced clinical assessment and management skills and be confident in your approach to providing excellent clinical care to people living with complex clinical conditions.

In return we can offer flexible work patterns and career development and progression.

The service uses a health coaching and motivational interviewing approach to their consultations, using "What Matters To You" as a basis to everything we do.

The post holder will work as a key part of the Integrated Community Teams having a clinical role with responsibility for planning, managing and co-ordinating the care of people with highly complex needs and long term conditions within a defined caseload.

Work as a lead practitioner within a multidisciplinary team, proactively managing a caseload of complex patients living with long term conditions or frailty and at risk of deterioration.

Patients will be identified through an agreed case finding approach.

Support patients, carers and families to live well with their long term conditions to prevent avoidable health deterioration & hospital admission, or unnecessary length of stay through a case management approach.

Responsible for the assessment of the health and social care needs, gather data and interpret complex clinical information in order to plan care appropriately.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a divers e range of services.
