Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust
The CAT team are based primarily in the Emergency Department (ED) at Gloucester Royal Hospital (GRH). The ED is a fast-paced and dynamic environment where 'no 2 hours are the same'. Are you highly motivated, tenacious, and driven to succeed? If so, we are offering an opportunity to join our small team in a Band 3 to Band 4 developmental role. Working in an ever-changing environment, the ability to be dynamic and flexible is vital. The team's purpose is to provide swift identification and assessment of any adult patient presenting to ED who can be managed on a community pathway. A basic knowledge of these pathways is advantageous. Musculoskeletal injuries (MSK) and fractures, although not exclusively, are a large part of our presenting patients. A working knowledge of this would be welcomed. The successful candidate will have a supernumerary induction period and an allocated mentor. Main duties of the job
Undertake a supported assessment of patients with non-complex needs (e.g., activities of daily living, mobility, and transfers) to support and develop a plan for discharge using clinical skills within the level of competency. Be competent using different types of mobility aids, e.g., walking sticks, zimmer frames. Understand different community pathways to facilitate positive risk discharging. Job responsibilities
Work closely with other members of the CAT team. Develop relationships with the wider acute medicine team based in the emergency department. Provide direct face-to-face assessments of patients with the emphasis on same-day discharge. Have a good understanding of different clinical conditions, particularly those presenting with MSK injuries/fractures and frailty. Person Specification
Appropriate knowledge/skills relevant to the post. Additional skills appropriate to the post. Experience working in either acute/community health care with direct patient contact. Hands-on experience undertaking mobility/functional assessments. Understanding of different community pathways. Knowledge of MSK/fractures. Basic understanding of NEWS score. Experience working in a multidisciplinary team (MDT). NVQ 3 in Health and Social Care or equivalent. Disclosure and Barring Service Check
This post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions Order) 1975, and as such, it will be necessary for a submission for Disclosure to be made to the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly known as CRB) to check for any previous criminal convictions. Address
