Job description

Come and join our award‑winning team! In June 2023, the FHFT Virtual Frailty Ward (VFW) / Urgent Community Response (UCR) team was nominated for a Parliamentary Healthcare Award and a FHFT Facing the Future Award.

We specialise in managing acute frailty crises, sepsis and exacerbations of long‑term conditions, aiming to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and promote patient choice in care delivery. Based at Frimley Park Hospital, our team operates across Surrey Heath, Northeast Hampshire and Farnham, working within the Frimley Health and Care Integrated Board (ICB) framework.

Our team provides an innovative, responsive and patient‑centred service that delivers urgent community response and acute hospital‑level treatment in patients’ own homes. Our unique hybrid model ensures a rapid, two‑hour response time, with referrals received directly from paramedics, GPs, NHS 111, community healthcare professionals and hospitals. Patients are assessed, diagnosed and treated in the comfort of their own homes.

As an MTA you will work closely with both the medical and therapy teams, providing essential support during emergency call‑outs in the community.

Responsibilities

• Attending patient visits alongside medical and/or therapy professionals.
• Conducting timely patient assessments and reviews.
• Performing extended clinical skills, including vital signs monitoring, cannulation, venepuncture, 12‑lead ECGs and urinary catheterisation.
• Participating in the emergency response team.
• Responding to emergency call‑outs in the community and attending patients alongside either the medical or therapy team, depending on the patient’s needs, to ensure timely assessment and intervention.
• Performing a range of extended clinical skills such as vital signs monitoring, cannulation, venepuncture, 12‑lead ECGs and urinary catheterisation.

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust is committed to being an inclusive and disability‑confident employer and has been awarded the Gold for the Armed Forces Employment Recognition Scheme. We provide first‑class development opportunities for all staff and offer a wide range of professional, management, leadership and clinical skills training.

We recognise the importance of a healthy work‑life balance; this benefits not only individuals but also the patients we care for. We encourage applications from people who wish to work on a flexible basis, and we do our utmost to work with our staff to meet their needs and the needs of our service and its users.
