Job responsibilities
A role where you can really make a difference.
Evenings and nights can be challenging times for patients, families and professionals. Access to senior clinical decision-making can make the difference between a patient being admitted to hospital and receiving the right intervention safely at home.

You will be able to bring advanced clinical expertise directly into the community, supporting nurses to manage complexity and providing an additional level of clinical assessment and decision-making when other services may be less accessible.
You will be encouraged to challenge traditional ways of working and help us develop pathways that provide responsive, safe and patient-centred care outside of hospital.
For full details of the duties and criteria please refer to the job description and person specification attached.
