Job overview
Are you a tenacious and motivated clinician seeking a new challenge within a transformative community system? We are seeking to recruit a practitioner to undertake an exciting enhanced clinical role as a 12 month secondment which will be instrumental in supporting the development and delivery of an urgent care response in the North Cornwall area.
This role provides the successful clinician with a rare opportunity to help implement and develop our existing health and care services in Cornwall. We aspire to implement a 7 day a week service with other partners so you will be expected to work towards this developing rota.
Working alongside partner organisations your knowledge and skills will support the development of collaborative ways of working with existing health and care providers to enhance the timely delivery of high quality and responsive service to our population in Cornwall.
Main duties of the job
These roles will appeal to flexible and responsive individuals who are confident to adapt and work with autonomy and ambiguity. We are also keen to explore blended roles that may be able to support long term conditions case management in partnership with urgent community response.
As an organisation we are committed to supporting professional development, skills growth and clinical careers pathways.
The advanced clinical level of this role will require you to be able to undertake enhanced level comprehensive assessment including history taking, physical examination of the patient and a robust systems review. You should be able to assess and manage frailty and complex chronic disease, identify deterioration and implement immediate strategies to reduce the risk of acute admission. Furthermore, you will need to be able to recognise the early symptoms of disease exacerbation, acute illness and injuries, based on an understanding of chronic diseases, the disease process, current evidence and practice standards.
Working for our organisation
We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Just over 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
