Job summary
Are you interested in joining a Trust committed to your development?
Would you like to be part of an organisation that really values your well-being?
Do you want to treat people rather than conditions?
Here at KCHFT we are constantly working to improve the lives of our staff and our patients. We care for you so you can care for your patients.
Our "We Care" strategy means that our ambitions are to put our communities first, deliver a better patient experience and importantly, be a great place to work for all of our workforce.
These aren't just empty words either. At our "Outstanding" rated trust more than half of our workforce work flexibly, including compressed hours and term time only. More than 70% of our workforce feel we take positive action on health and wellbeing, and we aim to improve this. We are proud to say that we consistently score above the national average in our staff survey results, particularly for our focus on the well-being of our workforce.
And with the forward NHS vision being based on community care, there has never been a better time to join us.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for a passionate and dedicated Nurse to join our Deal based team as an Urgent Care Nurse.
Our Urgent Care Services provides short term health, therapy and care support to enable service users to remain in the community / home environment. This may include treating acutely unwell people that would otherwise require hospital admission, and also supports hospital discharges.
At KCHFT, we are working with East Kent Hospitals University Trust, who are leading on developing a virtual ward for people with acute respiratory infections, such as a chest infection, or with an underlying condition, like COPD, to be cared for at home.
Patients who agree to be discharged earlier from hospital, will be monitored at home using technology, such as apps, wearables or other medical devices remotely - and supported by a consultant, specialist GP or advanced practitioner. What technology will be used is still being scoped as we co-design the wards with patients and colleagues during the months ahead. If you are interested in a new challenge and an exciting new change within an Urgent Care setting, then this just may be the job for you.
Additional Working Pattern: includes some weekend working
