Job description

Overview

We are offering an exciting opportunity for a NMC Registered Band 6 Senior Nurse Co-ordinator to join our Discharge to Access (D2A), Home First Service based in Stafford and surrounding areas of Staffordshire.

The Home First Team provides clinical support for patients in the community to either avoid potential hospital admissions or to support people to return home through the Discharge to Assess Pathway following a period of acute care in hospital.

We pride ourselves on the delivery of quality care to community patients, many with complex needs and we actively promote the philosophy of self-care and the promotion of independence whilst offering the facilities of rehabilitation and assessment. The ethos of the team is to facilitate safe hospital discharges for patients leaving acute care and to offer them nursing support in their own home environment so they can remain in their own home and avoid unnecessary hospital admissions.

As an efficient and effective team member you will work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary team alongside the Operational Leadership to ensure high quality care delivery to service users and provide specialist assessment and care planning in conjunction with service users and carers.

Due to the nature of this role, you will be required to work shift patterns covering a 24/7 365-day period. You will also be required to travel independently over a large geographical area.

As a Senior Nurse Co-ordinator you will assess, manage, plan and deliver care whilst providing support to your peers and team leader.
