Offer description

Overview

An opportunity has arisen for an HCA to join the Dorset Bladder & Bowel continence service. The successful person needs enthusiasm for continence and an interest in assisting patients with bladder & bowel issues and supporting the patient in managing their incontinence. You would be based in the Weymouth, Portland & Dorchester locality, linking with the local district nurse team and other health professionals within the community.


Responsibilities

* Work under the supervision of clinicians within the team, but at times work autonomously.
* Hold a full driver’s licence and use own car to visit patients in their homes and other community settings.
* Main work remotely; base at Forston Clinic near Dorchester.
* Carry out continence assessments for housebound patients via telephone consultation, in the patient’s own home or a care home facility if appropriate.
* Provide conservative lifestyle advice such as fluid intake & bladder irritants, and base for containment products and devices.
* Assessment consultations involve the patient, family members and other care providers where consent has been obtained.
* Opportunity to carry out bladder scans and sheath fittings with full training provided.


Qualifications

Applications from candidates that require current Skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are unfortunately ineligible to apply for this position. The post requires a full driver’s licence and use of own car. The post will give support training to reach the required competency level.
