Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 3 Generic Worker working within the South Rural Integrated Neighbourhood Team. We are a busy dynamic team who actively support staff new to the community.

The South Rural Integrated Neighbourhood team is based at Beacon House, 53 White House Road, Ipswich IP1 5PB. You will be required to work across the South Rural INT, and the wider community services to meet service requirements. The team consists Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, District & Community nurses, Assistant practitioners, generic workers and social care workers. The Therapy team is led by a Band 7 Therapy Lead with an INT manager managing all teams within the INT.

Applicants need to be a Driver and have access to a car for work which is community based

Main duties of the job

You will be actively supported by regular supervision and individual annual appraisal. You will be expected to work autonomously and on behalf of the patients served by the local area. You will have access to skills development training relevant to the post.

The role involves providing nursing interventions to the housebound residents in a specific geographical area who are 18 and over, registered with an Ipswich GP. Our main aim is to support, maintain and encourage people to make healthy lifestyle choices in the ageing well process.

Conditions include long-term neurological conditions, palliative and end of life care; diabetes; acute medical episodes, wound care and phlebotomy – all with a view to preventing admission and supporting early discharge. Many of our patients have a complexity of needs across the spectrum of physical and mental and social care needs.

We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes. 

We are one of the largest NHS organisations in England, employing more than 12,000 staff. 

We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options. 

Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services. 

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients. 

If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
