Main duties of the job

Our services have grown exponentially since they started in June 2020 and we currently provide:

-    Rapid Response where we aim to respond to urgent calls in 2 hours 
-    Discharge to Assess Therapy (DTA) –  where our teams provide therapy to patients at home and in care homes.
-    Early Intervention Vehicle (EIV); which is a vehicle that mostly responds to people who have fallen over at home and is jointly delivered with our adult social care colleagues at Herts County Council
-    Hospital at Home – (Virtual wards) which are jointly and closely delivered with acute colleagues.  We work closely with acute colleagues  to care for patients in their own homes who previously would have had to be admitted to hospital
-  we are also co-located with the Prevention of Admission adult social care team, 

We are expanding our leadership model in the team and are now looking to recruit a Band 7 Team Lead to support the Clinical and Operational Lead in operationally managing these services.  The role is varied, and a great opportunity to develop your management/leadership skills.  It presents a perfect opportunity for those who are eager to progress in their leadership journey within the NHS, offering in-depth experience of collaborative and integrated working and of leading in a complex and ever-changing clinical environment.  As such it would present an excellent springboard into more senior clinical and operational leadership roles.
