Description

Are you ready for an exciting new challenge with a CQC Outstanding-rated Community Foundation Trust ? Come and join us in Derby City Integrated Community services.


This is an exciting new opportunity to be part of an innovative new service optimising resources within Derby City, reducing demand and releasing capacity and more importantly empowering patients to self-care and promote their independence through behavioural change models, using a goal setting approach to achieve this.


The Self-Management facilitators team currently provide a programme of interventions in the Derby City area, but are now expanding into Amber Valley and looking to recruit new members for the SMF team.


The overall aim of the service is to work with individuals to increase their knowledge, skills and confidence to manage their long-term conditions and care needs.

You will continue to promote patient centred care and utilise the shared decision making tools.


This job allows for innovative thinking and collaboration with other providers to support individuals with a sustainable change that means the most to them.

This is a clinical role and will involve care delivery with a behavioural change focus.


Examples of care delivery that may be delivered are:

  • Insulin administration and other injections
  • Catheter care support
  • Simple wound management
  • Medication administration
  • With the scope and training to continue to develop clinical skills and behavioural techniques.


We deliver support patients in their own homes and in the local acute hospitals, working with individuals at the point of discharge so there will be lots of variety whilst working in this developing role.


Our purpose is to provide community health services to a patient population of over one million people in Derbyshire and Derby, as part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire.


We employ around 4,200 substantive staff, caring for patients in 11 community hospitals and more than 30 health centres, as well as in clinics, GP practices, schools, care homes and, increasingly, in people's own homes and via virtual consultations.


During the pandemic response, we have led the implementation of public vaccination centres in collaboration with partners across health and social care.
