Job description

The Urgent and Emergency care pathways as part of wider Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, offers an exciting opportunity to provide acute, unplanned care in patients' homes, avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions and supporting early discharge.

Applicants must have post‑preceptorship experience for this role.

Please note the post holder will be required to have a Full UK driving licence and hold insurance for business use.

Please note this post is not suitable for applicants who are required to undertake the OSCE training programme. Applicants who do not have current valid UK NMC registration & post‑registration experience will not be considered for this post.

Successful applicants will be required to provide an immunisation and vaccination report, from either their current UK occupational health provider or their UK GP. You will work as part of a wider multidisciplinary team to deliver safe, effective, and personalised care to patients who are acutely unwell but can be managed within their usual place of residence.

The group is currently trialling a new Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT) model following a collaborative event with internal and external stakeholders. This pilot aims to explore team structures and assess the impact on patient experience. While no formal redesign has taken place yet, the outcomes of this trial may inform future service delivery and team configuration across the group.

If you are successful in your application, please be aware that your team structure and line management may be subject to change in the future as part of this evolving model. However, any formal changes will be preceded by appropriate consultation in line with organisational policy.
