Are you a level 4 Assistant Practitioner/HCSW looking for a new role that will challenge and develop you? We want confident and dynamic Healthcare Professionals to take on the role of Assistant Practitioner for the SBUHB Virtual Ward programme. We are currently recruiting into 3 permanent posts to support the Virtual Ward services in the Llwchwr, Upper Valleys and surrounding SBUHB area.

Swansea Bay University Health Board is in the process of redesigning community services as part of the patient step up/step down pathways to maximise safe and effective patient care in their own homes.

The role of the Assistant Practitioner will be to work alongside the Clinical Manager, Therapists and Medical staff linked to the Virtual Ward to provide targeted and rapid patient assessment and intervention.

The post holder will be able to help drive change in a fast-paced environment and contribute to timely solutions through engagement with relevant community partners to ensure patient treatment is optimised and harm minimised.

SBUHB are re-designing their community step up/step down pathways to improve patient care and maximise efficiencies within the Health Board boundaries. The Virtual Ward will act as a platform for patient referrals from General Practice, Community teams, Secondary Care and Third Sector for those patients who need targeted, multi professional input in order to
optimise their clinical outcomes.

The Assistant Practitioner will be aligned to the Virtual Ward as part of the multi-professional Health and Social Care team. The Virtual Ward will bring key members of the multi professional team together to provide targeted assessment and review of patients, either virtually or faceto-face.

As an Assistant Practitioner (Level 4) the post holder is expected to independently manage their own work and case load, undertaking tasks delegated by the Virtual Ward Clinical Manager with appropriate supervision in place. Having an understanding of evidence-based
practice and delivering care in line with current evidence.

We believe staff are our best asset and we want you to be happy and confident about starting your career here in Swansea Bay University Health Board.

You might be a nurse or doctor, maybe you specialise in a health science/therapy or can offer skills in one of our support services - we have a job for you.

There are also apprenticeships, work placements and volunteering roles available.

Our values - Caring For Each Other, Working Together and Always Improving, show that our commitment to equality is at the heart of everything we do.

If you want excellent career and training opportunities while living on the doorstep of some of Europe's most spectacular scenery, with all the benefits of a thriving and cosmopolitan city - look no further.
