This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in a new team delivering community-based, person-centred care for residents. The focus will be on holistic assessments, care coordination, addressing health inequalities and delivering on the strategic ambition of a 'neighbourhood health service'
Main duties of the job
You'll work as part of a multidisciplinary team supporting a cohort of residents with moderate to severe frailty who have had 2 or more unplanned admissions within the last year, linking them to health, social care, and voluntary sector services.

The searches will identify a cohort of patients who would benefit from targeted intervention to improve outcomes, their overall experience and reduce the likelihood of further unplanned admissions. The service will operate alongside a number of other acute and community services, with the ability to step patients up in to appropriate services - including the highly successful virtual ward models in South and West Hertfordshire.
This role presents as an excellent opportunity to work in a topical area of service delivery within the NHS right now and will provide the opportunity to gain service development skills .
