We are seeking proactive and committed clinical support workers to join an innovative new programme in Barrow, designed to deliver intensive support for patients in the community who are at high risk of hospital re-admissions.
You will join a newly established, dynamic multidisciplinary team supporting the delivery of holistic treatment plans through multi-agency coordination. The case management service brings together professionals from various services including medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social care, therapy, voluntary sector, and community services.
As a clinical support worker, you will be clinically supported and supervised to undertake delegated nursing procedures, interventions, or actions identified by the MDT team as necessary to support clinical decision-making and the delivery of the holistic care plan. Working independently within patients' homes, you will support and empower patients to achieve short-term goals, promote wellbeing, and provide health education to enable independence and self-management of long-term health conditions in the community.
You will operate within defined parameters to undertake technical and clinical care, effectively communicate, and update the MDT on patient outcomes, current treatment plans, and reviews. This role offers opportunities for professional growth and the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable and complex patients in the Barrow community.
The service aims to reduce emergency admissions, promote independent living, and enhance coordinated care through a multidisciplinary, holistic approach. The urgency is driven by the need to alleviate hospital pressures and improve patient outcomes.
We operate from three main hospitals: Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, along with community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.
FGH and RLI offer a range of services including Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units, and various consultant-led services. WGH provides general hospital services, an Urgent Treatment Centre, and care for non-life-threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
All three hospitals provide planned care, including outpatient services, diagnostics, therapies, day surgery, and inpatient surgery. Additionally, local outreach services and diagnostics are available across Morecambe Bay.
