Job Overview

An exciting and unique opportunity has arisen for a Band 3 Health Care Assistant to join our Community Cardio-Respiratory Team in Leicestershire to play a key part in our digital cardio-respiratory virtual wards.

The virtual wards allow patients to be discharged safely from hospital and then be closely observed using remote monitoring technology in the community.

This role is part of the community cardio-respiratory team in LPT but will involve working on the cardio-respiratory wards at Glenfield Hospital, working with the multi-disciplinary team to help identify suitable patients for the virtual wards prior to their discharge from hospital. This role also includes working in the community to complete follow up home visits for COPD patients.

The main aspect of the role will be to work with patients just before their discharge to set them up with and teach them how to use the virtual ward technology so patients are able to use the digital system and safely enter their information and details once they are at home.

An excellent understanding of using technology and IT is essential as this is a vital aspect of this role.

The post is permanent and will involve travel across Leicestershire.

The community Cardio-Respiratory service provides the service over 7-days a week.
