We are seeking 2 x Advanced Therapy Support Workers with a patient-centred approach and a passion for rapid care.

We are developing a new service within Rapid Response providing assistance to people who have fallen but are unable to get up without help. These are patients that historically wait for a long time for assistance as they are not a priority for the ambulance service.

Our team will be provided with the right training and equipment to support these patients back up off the floor, and provide ongoing care as needed in their own homes. Reducing patient waiting times and the pressure on the ambulance service where possible.

Alongside this you will be part of the Rapid Response team. Our integrated, multi-disciplinary team provides timely intervention that is individualised, goal-focussed and support patients in their own homes and local care homes.

The Rapid Response service is provided 8am-6.30 pm 7 days a week.

As part of the role there will be a need for extensive travel and transportation of equipment around Amber Valley and Erewash.

To assist patients from the floor following a fall, using the appropriate equipment and assessment skills. To perform and assist in the provision of holistic, high quality, evidence-based health care.

To work within an appropriate supervisory and monitoring framework, following assessment proformas, agreed multi-disciplinary treatment plans and by providing and managing ongoing treatment, teaching and instruction to a referred caseload of patients.

The post holder will be expected to implement, modify and evaluate these programmes of treatment without direct supervision.

This will include rapid intervention, triage, initial assessment and reviews of patients, creating specific patient led care plans, meeting goals and liaison with other specialist services within the Trust.

The post holder will organise and prioritise their own day
- to-day work tasks and activities, be able to work independently and adhere to Trust Lone Working policies, as well as delegate tasks to band 3 colleagues and support administrative tasks for the day-to-day running of the services.

Our purpose is to provide community health services to a patient population of over one million people in Derbyshire and Derby, as part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire.

We employ around 4,200 substantive staff, caring for patients in 11 community hospitals and more than 30 health centres, as well as in clinics, GP practices, schools, care homes and, increasingly, in people’s own homes and via virtual consultations.

As a clinical employee it will be your responsibility to ensure that your behaviour and values reflect those set out in the DCHS Way outlined on our website and in the additional information provided.
