Job description

Come and join our Integrated Community Team of Nursing and Therapy staff at Chandlers Ford ICT.

We are a busy, friendly team who welcome new team members. We are seeking either newly qualified and/or experienced nurses to provide complex care and treatment to adults living in the area who have long-term or complex health needs. You will work in a multi-disciplinary way alongside a number of specialist services, including those in the community, social, and voluntary services. To support you within your role, we have an excellent learning and development programme to help further develop your clinical and leadership skills.

We offer a cohesive preceptorship programme, and you would have an experienced mentor within our team to enable you to become confident and competent within your role.

Our aim is to provide high-quality, safe services which improve the health, wellbeing, and independence of the people we care for. We deliver these services to our community so you will feel a real sense of achievement and that your work makes a difference to local peoples' lives.

You will be responsible for managing and co-ordinating your allocated work on a day-to-day basis, ensuring patients are cared for and prioritised according to clinical need, and that holistic assessment and care plans are recorded in line with the Trust's standards. Working within professional guidelines and accountability, the post-holder will have responsibility for the management of a defined community caseload (via Nursing, Mental Health, Physiotherapy, or Occupational Therapy interventions) for a group of GP Practices as part of the Integrated Care Team.

The post holder will have responsibility for managing, co-ordinating, and delegating work, ensuring referrals are dealt with according to clinical need, holistic assessments, and care plans are recorded in line with Trust and professional record-keeping standards. Clinical care must always meet acceptable standards of patient safety and quality outcomes.

The post holder will be required to work with a high degree of autonomy and professional accountability. A primary aim of the role is to prevent unnecessary admission of patients to an acute hospital and support timely discharge into the community. The post holder will also have a responsibility for re-enablement, rehabilitation, health protection, and promotion programmes that improve and reduce hospital admissions.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is a newly established organisation, bringing together expertise from across mental health, learning disabilities, community, and physical health services. We are dedicated to delivering compassionate, high-quality, and accessible care to the diverse communities of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

With over 13,000 dedicated staff working across more than 300 sites, we place patients and staff at the centre of everything we do. Our goal is to create an integrated healthcare system that improves accessibility and ensures more consistent care for patients. By working together, we aim to improve patient outcomes, drive innovation, and meet the unique needs of the populations we serve.

Our Trust unites services from Southern Health, Solent NHS Trust, Isle of Wight NHS Trusts community and mental health teams, as well as Hampshire CAMHS, originally part of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. This transformation enables us to deliver more seamless care across the region, ensuring that patients receive the right support, in the right place, at the right time.

Join us as we embark on this exciting journey to shape the future of healthcare across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. We are deeply committed to our CARE values of compassion, accountability, respect, and excellence, and offer outstanding opportunities for career development, training, and collaborative working.
