Job summary
We are recruiting a passionate and proactive Clinical and Operational Lead for a new Neighbourhood Proactive Care Service.

You will be working closely with a programme manager, testing new models of care, identifying interventions which make the most difference to this patient cohort, and evaluating the success of the service. Clinically, you will be from a nursing, physiotherapy, or occupational therapy background and will have appropriate clinical experience to be able to support a cohort of residents with moderate to severe frailty who have had 2 or more unplanned admissions within the last year.
