Hospital at Home Practitioner in Wembley

We are recruiting X2 full-time Band 6 Hospital at Home Practitioners to join our Brent Unplanned Care service, based at Sudbury and Wembley. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative community service delivering acute, hospital-level care directly in patients' homes. The Hospital at Home service provides short-term, intensive care for adults with acute conditions who would otherwise require admission to hospital. Working within a multidisciplinary team of specially trained registered professionals, including GPs, you will support earlier discharge, prevent avoidable hospital admissions, and ensure patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

You will have access to home-based monitoring equipment, point-of-care testing, and the ability to deliver a range of clinical interventions, including intravenous therapy, enabling you to practise autonomously while being fully supported by an experienced team. At Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust, we value and support our staff. We offer a range of benefits to support your wellbeing and work-life balance, including season ticket loans, childcare support, cycle to work schemes, and more.

Main duties of the job

• The post holder will work both autonomously and collaboratively with Acute Trusts, the Adult Community Nursing Team, and a range of health and care partners, including statutory and voluntary agencies, to deliver high-quality, person-centred patient care.
• The post holder will be required to work on a rotational shift basis within the Harrow Hospital at Home service, operating between 8am and 8pm, seven days a week.
• Effectively prioritise and manage their own workload, working with a high level of autonomy and minimal supervision.
