The service provides rapid assessment, diagnostics, and treatment for individuals with complex health and social care needs, frailty, or exacerbations of long-term conditions. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team providing assessments and interventions within patients' own homes, residential care homes, and nursing homes to prevent further deterioration in their health and wellbeing. Early identification, assessment, and intervention are crucial in reducing avoidable hospital admissions and supporting patients to remain safely within their community setting. The service aims to deliver urgent case management, crisis response, recovery support, and self-management strategies, while adopting a collaborative and patient-centred approach to care. You will work closely with patients, their families and carers, GPs, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated and effective care delivery.

You will provide clinical leadership within the Urgent Community Response (UCR) and Hospital at Home teams, delivering high-quality, patient-centred care to support individuals with acute and complex health needs in their own homes. The aim of the service is to prevent avoidable hospital admissions, facilitate early supported discharge, and promote recovery within the community. The role includes responsibility for the day-to-day coordination of service delivery, including the management and prioritisation of patient caseloads, ensuring timely assessments and interventions, and supporting effective multidisciplinary working. You will supervise, support, and develop team members, ensuring appropriate staffing levels and skill mix to maintain safe and effective care.
