The Role
You’ll split your time between:
1) Acute Home Visiting (Reactive)

* Provide treatment plans, safety-netting, and referrals (including pathways such as Virtual/Home Ward where appropriate)
* Prioritise and manage your own visiting schedule, including arranging hospital admission if needed
* Maintain accurate clinical documentation for every consultation
2) Frailty Home Visiting (Proactive)
* Deliver holistic annual reviews for patients living with frailty
* Complete Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments (CGA) covering physical, cognitive, functional and social needs
* Contribute to weekly MDT discussions alongside clinicians such as a consultant geriatrician, specialist nursing, and a pharmacist
* Support personalised care planning to help patients remain safely at home and reduce avoidable admissions
What We’re Looking For (Essential)
* NMC registered (Diploma or Degree in Nursing)
* Independent Nurse Prescriber with minimum 3 years’ prescribing experience
* Strong experience assessing and managing acute presentations and long-term conditions
* Confident working independently in patients’ homes, with sound clinical judgement and clear escalation when needed
* Comfortable using clinical systems (e.g., SystmOne) and Microsoft tools
* Excellent communication skills with patients, carers, GPs and wider services
* Ability to travel across the community to complete visits
* Willingness to complete/hold a DBS check
Desirable
* Advanced Clinical Practice qualification
* Experience building partnerships across organisations (including voluntary sector)

Why Join?
* Established clinical teams and a supportive visiting service
* Regular supervision and development support
* Meaningful impact: supporting patients at home and helping prevent unnecessary hospital admissions
* Collaborative working with a broad MDT (including specialist clinicians)
