Advanced Clinical Practitioner

As an Advanced Clinical Practitioner within the Hospital at Home Service, you will act as an autonomous and accountable practitioner, working on your own initiative and in collaboration with nursing, medical, therapy and allied health professional colleagues. You will assess individual patient needs, initiate appropriate investigations, determine differential diagnoses and commence holistic, evidence-based treatment and care.

You will play a key role in supporting safe clinical decision-making, promoting patient independence, reducing unnecessary hospital admission and supporting timely discharge from hospital. The post holder will also act as a positive role model for staff, demonstrating high standards of clinical practice, professionalism, communication and compassionate care.

The Hospital at Home Service operates over seven days, 8am to 8pm, including bank holidays. The successful candidate will therefore be required to work flexibly across the service rota to support safe and responsive service delivery.

We are looking for an individual who is enthusiastic about delivering care in the community, confident in advanced clinical assessment and decision-making, and committed to improving outcomes for patients and their carers.
