An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Advanced Clinical Practitioner to join an innovative and evolving community service delivering high-quality, person-centred care closer to home. This role is central to a programme of community redesign, focused on improving outcomes through proactive, integrated care. Working autonomously within your scope of practice, you will assess, diagnose, treat, and manage patients with complex and often undifferentiated conditions. Using advanced clinical reasoning, you will support independence, reduce unnecessary hospital admissions, and promote positive health outcomes. You will be a key member of a multidisciplinary team, working collaboratively with GPs, community nursing teams, geriatricians, allied health professionals, and wider partners to deliver coordinated, holistic care. As a senior clinician, you will provide clinical leadership, support service development, and contribute to innovative pathways and quality improvement initiatives. You will help ensure care is safe, effective, and aligned with evidence-based practice and national standards. A strong focus on patient experience, safety, infection prevention, and continuous development is essential, alongside the ability to build trusting relationships with patients, carers, and colleagues. This is an excellent opportunity to help shape the future of community healthcare within a transforming service.
