Do you want to be part of a team making Hammersmith & Fulham a great place to grow old? The Community Independence Service (CIS) provides planned and unplanned nursing and therapy interventions for older residents who have had a recent deterioration in their physical health and is run jointly between West London NHS Trust and CNWL Foundation Trust across the three inner London Boroughs. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and self‑motivated clinician, who will be an integral member of the team.
You will have excellent communication skills, experience completing person‑centred holistic physical and cognitive assessments and care for people with moderate to severe frailty. You will have good organisational skills and be able to manage your own workload to meet competing priorities. The role involves collaboration with internal and external stakeholders across the system. You will work as part of a team and delegate work to the team coordinators and be supported by local geriatric consultants and General Practitioners. You will also be a part of our newly developed neighbourhood team in alignment with the NHS 10 year plan.
Working as a member of the Community Independence Service you will be skilled in completing physical observations such as News 2 and relevant holistic assessments and mental capacity assessments, identifying whether the person has deteriorated and taking appropriate action. You will organise and chair Best Interest meetings for those who require support expressing their wishes.
You will attend local Primary Care Network (PCN) meetings/Integrated care access point meetings (ICAP) to contribute to the health and social care needs of local residents, identifying cases suitable to support through the CIS Case Management caseloads. You will also provide clinical advice and support CIS internal teams such as Urgent Community Response, Home first and rehabilitation.
You will provide clinical and operational supervision to the health and social care coordinators in case management and deputise for the pathway leads at meetings or in their absence alongside your CIS colleagues.
The Candidate Pack provides an overview of the key tasks and responsibilities of the role, and the person specification outlines the qualifications, skills, experience and knowledge required. Please view as attached.
