We are currently looking for a motivated and committed Band 7 Nurse Practitioner who would like to gain experience in managing the team and service.
Barnet Unplanned Integrated service works primarily as an admission avoidance service, reducing the number of patients sent to hospital Emergency departments.
The Unplanned service also supports the early discharge home of patients on the Hospital at Home pathway for 1-14 days. Initially, the service is for patients requiring IV antibiotics; however, we will be stepping up to see patients who require monitoring of observations, COPD monitoring, heart failure, and blood taking.
We are a multi-disciplinary team consisting of Nurse Practitioners, Senior Community Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Rehabilitation Support Workers, and Technical Instructors with administrator support.
This is an expanding admissions avoidance service working with both the primary care and the acute sectors to support and deliver treatment to patients in their own home.

Being clinically and operationally responsible for the team and acting as a role model. Undertaking comprehensive health assessments, physical examinations, and ordering tests for patients on the RR and H@H pathways. Using advanced clinical decision-making and assessment skills to coordinate care planning and initiate referrals to diagnostics for appropriate tests for this population. Establishing, delivering, and leading a comprehensive service within community services. Playing a leadership role within the team and working with external stakeholders such as London Ambulance Service and Social Services to develop new ways of working and increase the number of referrals from the acute and community. Leading on service development.
Minimum Requirements: Candidates should be experienced nurses with sound clinical knowledge and proven experience in acute and community clinical environments. You will need to be adaptable to operate in a fast-moving environment and have the clinical skills and ability to function as a lone worker in a larger team. Excellent communication skills and the ability to provide care as determined by clinical assessments are essential.
The clinical lead's shift pattern will be over 7 days per week. Current shift patterns in the team are 8am - 4pm and 2pm – 10pm. We also offer long days from 8am - 8pm and 10am – 10pm.
Just as we care about our patients’ well-being, we care about yours!
