Clinical Practitioner - Care Management Service

The CMS Clinical Practitioner is an experienced autonomous practitioner working within the Care Management Service, delivering proactive, personalised and coordinated care for individuals identified as being at high risk of unplanned hospital admission, emergency department attendance and escalating health and social care needs. The role supports the objectives of the Care Management Service through prevention, early intervention, care coordination and multidisciplinary working.

You will work within a multidisciplinary and multi-agency model, supporting individuals with frailty, multimorbidity, complex physical health conditions, mental health needs, functional impairment and social complexity. Using enhanced assessment, clinical reasoning and care management skills, the practitioner will undertake holistic assessments, develop personalised care plans, facilitate rapid intervention and support admission avoidance and timely discharge.

You will contribute to the CMS multidisciplinary team (MDT) process, participate in desktop triage, support proactive monitoring of patients, respond to deterioration identified through clinical review or Data Initiated Follow-Up (DIFU) processes and facilitate progression through active care management, step-down and discharge pathways.

The role may be undertaken by a registered nurse, paramedic, occupational therapist, physiotherapist or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional working within their professional scope of practice.
