Clinical Operational Lead - Proactive Care Team
Band 8a
Central London Community Healthcare (CLCH) is one of the largest community healthcare organisations in London and Hertfordshire, providing our services to diverse communities/boroughs in 11 London Boroughs - Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea, Merton, Richmond, Wandsworth, Westminster - and Hertfordshire.
We are rated Good by the Care Quality Commission and are ranked among top NHS employers. Community healthcare is our focus and our passion. We champion the role of community health professionals to make sure our patients get great care closer to home.
Job overview
We are recruiting a passionate and proactive Clinical and Operational Lead for a new Neighbourhood Proactive Care Service.
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’. This role will have both an operational management and patient facing element.
This service will see the shift from reactive care to proactive identification by using risk stratification searches within Primary Care records. 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 .
Main duties of the job
You'll be responsible for operational delivery of the service, leading and managing a multidisciplinary team.
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.

We can offer you:
- A comprehensive induction into the community service followed by a local induction to introduce you to the role
