Description
CLCH Hertfordshire Adult Community Services -CLCH NHS Trust provides a range of Community Services, and the Hertfordshire Division is recruiting

If you're looking for a rewarding career in the community that allows you to deliver high quality, patient-focused care while leading a dynamic and mutually supportive team, you're in the right place

CLCH Hertfordshire Division covers the 4 localities of West Hertfordshire, delivering care across the population.

We are an innovative divisional team who are always looking to grow and develop our staff and service, and pride ourselves on focusing on staff wellbeing as well as delivering high quality patient focused care.


We are setting up a new team to deliver care for residential homes across three of our four geographical localities - Hertsmere, St Albans and Harpenden and Watford - to improve continuity and enable the residential homes and staff within CLCH to feel well supported and able to deliver excellent care.

This idea has come from clinicians delivering face to face contact with patients in the Covid pandemic.

They have demonstrated the enhanced level of support we can offer homes through training and collaborative working, and they have built close relationships with the homes as a result.

This has achieved reduction of pressure ulceration, effective treatment of leg ulceration, improvements in continence care, palliative care and management of long term conditions.


The outbreak team healed one patient who had had daily dressings on their legs for over a year in under four weeks, and the quality of life the patient now has is vastly improved from before.

We want to continue to achieve these amazing results on a larger scale - could you be the person who is leading the way to enable this?


Central London Community Healthcare (CLCH) is one of the largest community healthcare organisations in London and Hertfordshire, providing our services to diverse communities/boroughs in 11 London Boroughs - Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea, Merton, Richmond, Wandsworth, Westminster - and Hertfordshire.

Just as we care about our patients' wellbeing, we care about yours


We can offer you:


  • A comprehensive induction into the community service followed by a local induction to introduce you to the role
  • Single occupancy accommodation in Central London (we can help you find accommodation in London, support you with your deposit)
  • Car lease scheme *T&C's apply
  • Flexible working options
  • Annual travel card loan
  • Training, support and development in your career
As an NHS trust,we are committed to equal opportunities and ensuring equality and diversity in the workplace.


We have a number of staff networks: Disability and Wellbeing Network (DAWN), Race Equality Network and the Rainbow Network which supports LGBT+ staff. Each network has a champion who is an executive director at the Trust and they hold regular meetings to discuss issues and make plans to improve CLCH.


As a Band 6 Deputy Team Lead, you will be responsible for caseload managing the care of patients within residential homes within a geographical locality.

You will line manage a small group of Band 5s, 4s, and 3s, ensuring that you nurture them to continue to be autonomous, skilled practitioners.

You need to have strong assessment skills and will be well supported clinically, with a dedicated Band 7 nurse for the team, good access to Practice Development Nurses and link nurses aligned to the team to enable you to grow professionally, and encouraged to participate in numerous training opportunities provided by the CLCH Academy Team.

There will be a requirement to work 1 in 4 weekends, and to work across the geographical locality depending on service need.

The core hours of the service are 8am-6pm 7 days per week.

The role will involve travel between homes and across the localities, occasionally assisting the other teams with visits in patients' own homes, so access to a car for work purposes and a full driving license is essential.
