Job overview

Our Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) deliver out of hospital care to people in their own homes or community clinics. The South Gloucestershire INTs provide these services to people who are registered with a GP within South Gloucestershire.  

Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) - Long Term Conditions are experienced, specialist clinicians with advanced clinical skills, case management techniques and shared decision-making, who support people meeting criteria that denote very high intensity use of health care services. With specialist intensive support, these service users are able to remain safely at home and have more choice about their health care. Case management is key for the support of people with long term conditions. This role requires expert evidence based practitioner knowledge gained from extensive front line, clinical leadership and decision making and managerial experience

The Locality teams are made up of:

  • Advanced Clinical Practitioners Urgent and Long-term Conditions
  • Community Nurses
  • Community Therapists
  • Paramedics
  • Community Support Workers
  • Administrators

Main duties of the job

The purpose of this role is to work autonomously as a specialist practitioner to identify and case manage individuals with highly complex needs who require intensive community support, within their Primary Care Network (PCN) in partnership with the Integrated Network Team (INT) and the primary care team to prevent avoidable admissions and facilitate timely discharges from hospital into the community setting and, where possible, improving their quality of life.

As an advanced practitioner you will provide a service that focuses on achieving and demonstrating overall improvements in health care for people who are frail and have several long-term conditions. You will also provide clinical leadership and direction to the INT, supporting the Locality Manager and Assistant Locality Manager to deliver excellent evidence based clinical outcomes. To provide organisational and service resilience, you may be expected to cross cover other teams or services, both within the locality and across Sirona services.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Please see the attached Job Description for a full list of duties and responsibilities before applying for this position.

This post is not an Advanced Practice role that is mapped to the HEE Multi-professional Framework for Advancing Practice. These posts are currently under review and are likely to undergo a name change in the near future. This is because these roles do not require candidates to work across all 4 pillars of Advanced Practice to MSc level and are therefore banded at AFC Band 7. They do, however require a skillset working at or towards MSc level in the Advanced Practice Clinical Pillar. This role will not be eligible for training funding for an MSc in Advanced Practice however training may be supported depending on individual learning needs identified following Sirona CPD funding application processes.

Sirona care & health currently recruit overseas nursing and therapy staff through an NHS Trust Supplier and we adhere to the NHSE Code of Practice in relation to applicants from Red List countries. We are therefore, unable to accept any direct applications to this advert from candidates who are not already based in the UK.
