Job overview
Join Our Community Urgent Response & Hospital@Home Team!
Are you passionate about delivering high‑quality care in a fast‑paced, patient‑focused environment? We’re looking for a dynamic clinician to join our Community Urgent Response and Hospital@Home service.
In this role, you’ll work as a key member of our multi‑disciplinary team, helping to provide timely, responsive care to patients in their own homes and community settings. You’ll play a vital part in preventing unnecessary hospital admissions and supporting safe, effective early discharges.
When the Clinical Lead is absent, you will step forward to provide both clinical and managerial leadership—guiding colleagues, ensuring smooth service delivery, and maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality within available resources.
If you’re motivated, adaptable, and ready to make a real impact on patient care, we’d love to hear from you.
Main duties of the job
In this role, you will take the lead in delivering advanced clinical assessments, offering expert clinical advice and demonstrating a high level of autonomous decision‑making. You will confidently formulate clinical diagnoses and initiate appropriate treatment plans, ensuring patients receive timely, effective, and safe care.
Working collaboratively with a wide range of health and social care professionals, you will help ensure seamless pathways of care. This includes liaising with specialist teams, coordinating referrals, and contributing to MDT discussions to support the best possible outcomes for patients.
You will uphold the highest professional standards, maintaining full compliance with national and local guidelines, Trust policies, and professional codes of practice. You will work strictly within your scope of practice and competencies, promoting safe and accountable clinical practice at all times.
In addition to your clinical responsibilities, you will play a key role in supporting the development of the wider multi‑professional workforce. This will include contributing to both formal and informal teaching, sharing your expertise, and helping to foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement across the service.
