Job description

Job summary

This is an exciting opportunity for an Extended Clinical Practitioner (ECP) to join our Hospital at Home service, providing responsive, hospital-level care to people in their own homes.

Working as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will use your advanced assessment and clinical decision-making skills to assess and manage people with acute illness, frailty and complex needs. The role offers real variety, with opportunities to undertake comprehensive assessment, diagnostics and treatment in the home, working closely with senior clinicians and wider health and care services to help people receive the right care in the right place.

Hospital at Home is continuing to develop across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and we are looking for clinicians who want to be part of that journey. You will have the opportunity not only to deliver high-quality clinical care, but also to help shape pathways, develop new ways of working and contribute to the ongoing development of the service.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced clinician who enjoys autonomous practice, clinical challenge and making a real difference to patient care. You will use advanced assessment skills, clinical reasoning and diagnostic decision-making to manage patients with complex and often unpredictable needs in their own homes. Working closely with health and care partners, you will lead care planning, support safe admission avoidance and provide expert clinical leadership within the wider multidisciplinary team.

Alongside delivering high-quality patient care, you will contribute to staff development, quality improvement, education and service transformation, helping to shape the future of Hospital at Home across the region.
