Job description
Job responsibilities
“COVID-19 has illustrated starkly the devastating impacts on those vulnerable to viruses and infections, in a very real and public forum”.
It has also shown a health service capable of making huge leaps in innovative working methods to adapt quickly to changing dynamic needs. As a forward-thinking organisation, we are progressing new ways of working and consulting with patients.
FCMS has created a home monitoring service for patients with long standing conditions e.g., COPD, Heart Failure, T2DM. This will be to remotely monitor patients who are in a Care Home or Housebound to support their GP practice. Patients will initially have a face-to-face assessment in their home environment to create a care plan and ensure we have all the information needed for safe admission onto the service. Patients will have access to observation equipment and input their readings which will alert a clinician if any problems.
We are working collaboratively with Blackpool Teaching Hospital to provide home monitoring to patients:
- Awaiting / undergoing cardiac procedures
- Patients discharged with respiratory conditions needing further monitoring
Within the primary care development unit, we offer health checks on a mobile unit, this involves patient observations and ear syringing.
Job Summary
We are looking for forward thinking, motivated Health Care Assistants who have a passion for new ways of working whilst providing safe patient care. The Health Care Assistants will provide support qualified clinicians monitoring alerts and some face-to-face monitoring of patients in their home environment. Our aim is to work closely with the local trust, community matrons, heart failure team, GP Practices, Rapid Response, and other teams in the community to provide optimum patient care.
The role is subject to a DBS check which will require three forms of valid ID to be produced and verified. The onboarding process is also subject to an Occupational Health check, suitable professional references and eligibility to work in the UK (with the requirement to provide relevant documentation as evidence).
The organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment. You will be expected to fulfil your mandatory safeguarding training at the level applicable to this role.
