Main Duties of the Job:

We have an exciting opportunity for a Bank Band 6 Registered Nurse/Paramedic to join our Hospital at Home (H@H) Service across Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon, and Wiltshire (BSW). This is an excellent time to join the service as it undergoes a period of transformation and development, creating opportunities to contribute to innovative models of care and service improvement. Working across a variety of community settings and patients' homes, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality acute care outside of traditional hospital environments.

As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will work collaboratively across acute, community, primary care, and social care services to provide assessment, treatment, and ongoing clinical management for patients requiring hospital-level care at home. The service supports both admission avoidance (step-up) and early supported discharge (step-down) pathways, ensuring patients receive timely care in the most appropriate setting.

We are looking for a compassionate and proactive clinician who can work autonomously, make sound clinical decisions, and deliver safe, effective, person-centred care. In return, you will join a supportive and skilled team dedicated to improving patient outcomes and enabling people to receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

Main Responsibilities:

As a Nurse/Paramedic, you will work with a good degree of independence, carrying out tasks and responsibilities delegated by the lead clinician. You will be an important part of the team, helping to meet the needs of patients in community settings, initially focusing on those referred through the 2-hour Urgent Community Response (UCR), and later supporting the development of broader referral pathways.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing evidence-based advanced clinical skills to support appropriate patient care
• Organising your time and workload effectively
• Serving as a positive role model for colleagues and promoting collaborative working
• Demonstrating commitment to your own professional development and supporting the learning of colleagues
• Noticing areas where practice can be strengthened and contributing to improvement efforts

Ideal Candidate:

Essential:

• Registered nurse/Paramedic
• Evidence of study at Level 6 or above
• Advanced clinical assessment skills
• IV therapy competency
• Able to work autonomously and as part of a team
• Excellent written and verbal communication, and interpersonal skills
• Good IT skills
• Clean driving licence, car driver and access to a vehicle for daily use

• Knowledge of clinical systems such as Systmone
• Independent prescribing qualification
• Postgraduate certificate in advanced practice or relevant specialty
