Torry Medical Practice, Oscar Rd, Torry, Aberdeen AB11 8ER AB11 8ER
Were excited to be looking for a Senior Healthcare Support Worker to join our experienced and close-knit team.
River Dee Medical Group is the first community interest company (CIC) to provide primary healthcare services in Scotland. We have a strong ethos of delivering innovative patient-centred care to the communities we serve. We also have a commitment to engagement with our communities to help support their priorities for health and wellbeing. In both communities, we aim to provide responsive but sustainable and holistic care.
We are passionate about education, training and staff development. We are a training practice for both undergraduate and postgraduate students and have a multidisciplinary teaching programme for pharmacists, nurses and doctors.
We practice mutually supportive working which enables both patient-centred care and fulfilling therapeutic and professional relationships. We also recognise a healthy work life balance is key to a long and productive career. A key element of this is close collaborative working with trusted colleagues within a tight and well-organised team.
River Dee Medical Group runs two medical practices at present: Camphill Medical Practice and Torry Medical Practice.
Camphill is a small practice with a practice list of around 2,500 patients. The practice is located on the beautiful Murtle Estate in Aberdeen. The patient group is diverse, containing a concentrated learning disability community who make up approximately 25% of the patient list. Healthcare is delivered both at the practice and onsite in the residential community of Newton Dee. Clinical lead, Dr Stefan Geider, and another GP also have an interest in AnthroHealth.
Torry Medical Practice, led by Dr Adrian Crofton, is co-located in purpose-built premises which allow for friendly working within the larger MDT. This includes health visitors, community nurses, physiotherapists, CPNs and midwives as well as third sector services such as counselling. This wider team helps provide holistic care to our patient group. The patient list is over 7,000 patients and our practice boundary is relatively small and well-defined, further enhancing the scope for community engagement and effective MDT working. There are significant areas of deprivation within the practice area, and the population is extremely diverse with a large immigrant population from all corners of the globe. This makes for very stimulating, varied and rewarding clinical experience.
Both practices have fully established nurse-led chronic disease management, and practice employed in house pharmacotherapies services five days per week. Both practices are actively engaged in the greener practices programme.
We place a great deal of importance on development of relationships with the community. We also contribute to the local community council as well as engaging with local schools.
If you are an experienced healthcare practitioner with an interest in health inequalities and holistic care and want to be part of a forward-looking innovative team that believes passionately in the potential of primary care, then please apply.
We currently have a vacancy for a 1.0 WTE Senior Healthcare Support Worker based predominantly at Torry Medical Practice. The post holder will also work out of Camphill Medical Practice. Salary depending upon experience and days / hours are negotiable.
