It's an exciting time for our Hospital at Home Service. We are expanding and recruiting to our teams who work with patients in their homes to provide a virtual ward service for early supported discharge and admission avoidance.
Hospital at Home teams provide specialty virtual ward beds. They are multi-speciality supporting patients across respiratory and frailty in partnership with acute care, consultants and specialist nurses.
We are looking for Staff Nurses to join us, so if you're a motivated and enthusiastic nurse looking to be part of a supportive team and use your skills to provide excellent community care, we'd love to hear from you.
This is an amazing opportunity to become a member of the team as a staff nurse working together to support patients through the critical first few days after they leave hospital and avoid unnecessary hospital admissions.
The focus of this role is delivering high quality care in the community, by delivering holistic assessments, planning, implementing, and reviewing care provision.
We are a multidisciplinary team working flexibly to provide a seven-day service, 365 days a year, between 8am and 8pm.
The team works closely with other services within Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust, as well as our acute and community partners, GPs, South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb), adult social care and voluntary and third sector organisations.
Main duties of the job
In this role, you will be part of a team of colleagues supporting evidence-based care, facilitating staff learning and development. You will provide nursing input for patients whilst identifying deteriorating patients. This post is an ideal opportunity for a nurse who is keen to develop both their holistic assessment skills and knowledge of virtual wards and acute community response.
If you are new to Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust, you will join our preceptorship programme, through protected time and regular clinical supervision with dedicated registered professional support.
