Job summary
Are ready for a new challenge and want to be part of a fast-paced team, with excellent development opportunities, then this is for you. An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of the Waterlooville Integrated Community Care Team.
This is a full-time Community Nursing position which is designed to contribute to avoiding hospital admission and maintaining patient's independence in their own homes throughout the Waterlooville locality. This is achieved by both routine visits but also responding to Urgent Crisis Response (UCR) calls which are a key aspect of the role going forward. The UCR process is a new initiative in which we work alongside South Coast Ambulance Service, offering acute visits with other members of the MDT, and using a community based skill set to try to reduce the need for an ambulance to attend and to prevent the patient being admitted.

They will be expected to be involved in care planning and identification of person-centred care delivered in the home setting. Responsibilities will also include line management, coordination of the shifts, allocating the caseload and managing the roster.
