Job overview
We are looking for experienced Band 5 Nurses with a community/acute background, to support our new, innovative Team to reduce emergency hospital admissions and to reduce the reliance on acute hospital care. We have several new initiatives relating to integrated Community-based Frailty Hubs, increased community services and the implementation of virtual wards. Virtual wards support patients, who would otherwise be in hospital, to receive acute care, remote monitoring, and treatment that they may need in their own home or usual place of residence.

Main duties of the job
The post holder will be responsible for monitoring patients and conducting holistic needs assessments of patients using recognised assessment tools and remote technology solutions.You will be able to fully recognise the deteriorating patient and escalate appropriately to support with the management of symptoms that have been identified.
You will collaborate with a team of professional leads, and in partnership with GP practices and local Primary Care Networks to further develop services which are of value to the commissioners and meet the local needs of the population.

Under the leadership of our Chair, Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive we provide care for the residents of three diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge.
