Go back Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

The closing date is 22 February 2026

The Integrated Community Team model aspires to provide a responsive, safe effective caring service that is well led. The team is commissioned to reflect the needs of the local community. Service aims include providing a local point of access, proactive case management and adoption of a co‑produced approach with patients and service users. The Integrated Community Team, whilst operating from a local hub, delivers a joined‑up approach across a specific locality, to deliver excellence in care and engages with all practices and wider stakeholders in the locality.

This role will be based in Basingstoke & surrounding areas.

Working within Professional guidelines and accountability, the post-holder will have responsibility for the management of a defined community caseload (via Nursing, mental health, Physiotherapy or Occupational Therapy interventions) for a group of GP Practices as part of the Integrated Care Team.

The post holder will have responsibility for managing, co‑ordinating and delegating work ensuring referrals are dealt with according to clinical need, holistic assessments and care plans are recorded in line with Trust and Professional record keeping standards and clinical care at all times meets acceptable standards of patient safety and quality outcomes.

The post holder will be required to work with a high degree of autonomy and professional accountability. A primary aim of the role is to prevent unnecessary admission of patients to an acute hospital and support timely discharge into the community. The post holder will also have a responsibility for re‑enable­ment, rehabilitation, health protection and promotion programmes that improve and reduce inequalities.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides joined‑up mental and physical healthcare for around two million people across our communities. With over 13,000 staff working in the community and local hospitals, we deliver care at every stage of life, helping people live their best and healthiest lives.

Our mental health services include community‑based support and early intervention in psychosis (EIP) for both adults and young people, alongside a network of specialist inpatient wards covering forensic, learning disability, eating disorder and older person's care.

We deliver extensive physical health services too, from urgent community response teams helping frail and older patients remain safely at home, to hospitals at home teams providing acute‑level care in familiar surroundings. Our neurological services offer rehabilitation and treatment for conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Head Injury, Cerebral Palsy and Stroke. Across Hampshire, our community hospitals provide inpatient rehabilitation as a step down from acute care, and our dedicated teams also staff Treetops Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Portsmouth, offering expert, compassionate support.

Everything we do is underpinned by our CARE values of compassion, accountability, respect and excellence.

Act at all times with compassion, to be committed to delivering high quality care, use effective communication, be competent and have courage when needed.

This includes those with chronic disease, terminal illness who wish to die at home and complex care needs. Other settings include residential homes, nursing homes, clinics, and community centres.

Recognise and respond to the need of appropriate referral to offer members of the community care team or external organisations including appropriate escalation of potential Safeguarding risks.

Provide safe medicines management in your area, according to professional and organisational guidelines to ensure safety and efficacy.
