Frailty Practitioner

We are recruiting a Band 6 Frailty Practitioner for 12 months to cover maternity leave. This will be a Registered Adult Nurse or Therapist and have access to their own for work purposes. We are expanding our team and growing as some of our Band 6 practitioners move on to trainee Advanced Clinical Practice roles.

The Frailty Support Team service within Southern Health is a unique model of care nationally. We support acutely unwell adults at home, who are experiencing a sudden decompensation in physical, psychological or social well being. Our primary aim is to provide first class health care, in the home, giving our service users the choice to remain at home and recover more quickly. We work as One Team with our GPs, community nurses and therapy teams, providing the right care in the right place in the right time frames.

The team operates from five bases, each base has an established group of staff to provide continuity to our patients. While the majority of working days will be based with your usual base, there is some requirement to work flexibly from time to time from our other bases.
