CLCH Hertfordshire Adult Community Services - Recruitment
CLCH NHS Trust provides a range of Community Services, and the Hertfordshire Division is recruiting!
Due to internal promotions, we have vacancies for Senior Nurses/Paramedics within the Hertfordshire UCR (Urgent Community Response) Service.
We are looking for forward-thinking, passionate staff who can take a positive risk management approach to support people at risk of hospital admission to remain at home when acutely unwell, within our UCR service in West Hertfordshire, previously known as the Herts Unplanned Care Team.
The aim of the service is to avoid unnecessary admissions into secondary care and facilitate timely discharges from hospital and community bedded units for patients requiring urgent therapy at home. The team provides care across three pathways delivered over 7 days a week from 8 am to 10 pm: Rapid Response (RR), Early Intervention Vehicle (EIV), and Discharge to Assess (DTA). All pathways are provided in the patient's usual home environment.
We seek proactive and enthusiastic clinicians (Nurses or Paramedics) to join our innovative UCR service, enabling care delivery to patients in their homes across Herts Valleys.
Pathways:
* Rapid Response (RR): Focuses on preventing avoidable hospital admissions for patients with acute conditions by providing holistic assessment and treatments for up to 5 days. It includes face-to-face assessments and treatments for patients under virtual hospital pathways.
* Discharge to Assess (DTA): Supports the discharge of patients from acute or community hospital wards to assess and manage rehabilitation/therapy needs once they are medically fit to go home.
* Early Intervention Vehicle (EIV): A joint pathway with Herts County Council delivering crisis management, providing holistic assessments covering physical, functional, and social aspects.
We are a strong multidisciplinary team working in an integrated manner with partner organizations to ensure holistic support, with strong connections to other community services within CLCH.
Just as we care about our patients’ wellbeing, we care about yours!
