This is a key role, in supporting our service to achieve the trust vision of "Delivering high quality care" in day to day work.
Within a geographically aligned Primary Care Area this role will be clinically responsible for the diagnosing, prescribing, planning and evaluation of care, ensuring provision of high standards of care to patients and their families within the community. You will work alongside the Team Leader and Community matron, along with other members of the Integrated Teams, working within and across professional and organisational boundaries.
A key element of this role will include monitoring of the quality of care provision and identifying and leading on areas of service development.
We are looking for a dynamic, flexible and compassionate practitioner who can demonstrate competencies and is able to adapt to a wide variety of clinical circumstances.
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.
Approximately 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 increase the numbers of people who use out services.
