NHS@Home - vacancies available in the following community teams:

North - Chippenham, Calne Corsham Box, Marlborough, Malmesbury

West - Trowbridge, Warminster, Devizes, Melksham

South - Wilton, Amesbury, Salisbury City

Full and Part time - Permanent

Our community Nursing and Therapy teams are currently undergoing a transformation programme as we continue to grow urgent crisis response and NHS@Home in Wiltshire alongside existing planned and same day response services.

Our Vision is to integrate our core services, so we have a range of skills to not only support and enable those with long term conditions and Frailty but to also to assess and treat those who are acutely unwell so they can remain at home (or their place of residence).

We are looking for Healthcare Support Workers to come and join our teams. We want people to apply who have a passion for supporting nursing delivery in a community setting and who are confident to address a variety of complex health needs within an MDT to support recovery at home. This service has a wide variety of caseload where no day is the same and this role will suit those who like to think outside of the box be creative and work closely with our partners in health, care and the voluntary sector.

Main duties of the job

Wiltshire Health and Care is a community provider which is known for investing in staff, supporting career development and agile in embracing change to ensure our services are able to respond to our communitys health needs. We are the bridge between our Acute partners and community health and care and you will be enabled to build system relationships and be part of new enterprises such as neighbourhood initiatives with primary care.

This is very much a patient facing role and you will be based within a community team and travelling to patient homes/ care homes. If you have not experienced community care before you, we will give you a full induction. Working in the community is both rewarding and a privilege; this is where you truly get to understand the many ways that people chose to live their lives and understand the range of health inequalities which sadly exist across our county. We welcome and encourage people to apply who have diverse profiles and experiences; we embrace all learning opportunities to improve.

The core service runs 0700 to 2200 7 days a week, alongside an Overnight Nursing service, together providing 24 hour support. Staff will work a shift pattern which includes mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays
