Job summary
We are looking for a highly experienced and skilled advanced practitioner to join our newly funded focused care project, the post holder will identify, and case manage individuals with long term conditions that in addition have highly complex needs who require intensive community support, within their Primary Care Network (PCN).
This post is based within the Specialist Respiratory team and in partnership with primary care the job holder will aim to prevent avoidable admissions and facilitate timely discharges from hospital into the community setting and, where possible, improve their quality of life.
This role is funded for a full-time position across 12 months with the potential for extension.
There will also be opportunities for the post holder to achieve further skills within the respiratory service such as oxygen management, arterial blood gas competencies and exercise prescriptions as required.
This post is not an Advanced Practice role that is mapped to the HEE Multi-professional Framework for Advancing Practice. These posts are currently under review within Sirona and are likely to undergo a name change in the near future. This is because these roles do not require candidates to work across all 4 pillars of Advanced Practice to MSc level and are therefore banded at AFC Band 7. They do, however require a skillset working at or towards MSc level in the Advanced Practice Clinical Pillar. This role will not be eligible for training funding for a full MSc in Advanced Practice however training may be supported on an individual basis depending on service and individual learning needs, following Sirona CPD funding application processes. Please contact us using the details provided to discuss this further before applying.

- Use extensive advanced assessment and diagnostic skills and case manage identified service users who require intensive community tracking, aiming to prevent avoidable hospital admissions, promoting self-care and self-empowerment to support service users in the management of their condition and management of the deteriorating person as appropriate.
