Join to apply for the Senior Physiotherapist role at Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust
The UCR Service provides urgent support, seven-days a week, to help prevent unnecessary hospital admissions. This is achieved by providing a two-hour crisis response delivered by a multi-skilled team of professionals. Support is provided at home or where they usually reside for people who are concerned their health or mobility is declining and are therefore at risk of admission to hospital. Our teams work closely with our local ambulance service to pull category 3 & 4 patients off the ambulance stack, supporting patients in receiving a rapid response in the community by teams with the skills to support them to remain at home.
The UCR service also provide a general virtual ward service, supported by digital technology and remote monitoring. Our multidisciplinary teams ensure that patients receive hospital-level care at home safely and in familiar surroundings, helping speed up their recovery while freeing up hospital beds for patients that need them most. As well as home visits, digital remote monitoring is utilised
“Please note: Due to recent changes in UK immigration and visa rules, this role is unlikely to be eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship. Applicants who do not currently have the right to work in the UK may not be considered. Candidates requiring sponsorship should review the eligibility criteria on the gov.uk website before applying to assess their eligibility for a Certificate of Sponsorship for this role."
The Urgent Community Response (UCR) Service provides clinical interventions (including intravenous therapy) as part of a multidisciplinary team comprising of Medics, Nurses, Paramedics, Physio and Occupational Therapists for admission avoidance pathways (2 hour response and general virtual wards), in line with the national specification for UCR and general virtual wards.
Operating 365 days per year, the service receives referrals from a range of health and care professionals and triages, assesses, and delivers care to the patient over several days to ensure the patient can remain safely at home.
The postholder will be required to provide clinical expertise and problem-solving support for the clinical team as well as clinical care for patients. They will support the coordination of the multi-disciplinary team, allocating visits as appropriate. There is an expectation to develop the service through reflective practice, clinical supervision and audit. The postholder will identify suitable people referred to the service for planned early discharge from hospital or for the prevention of admission to the acute sector or long-term care.
