Clinical Practitioner

Take your clinical career in a new direction

Are you an experienced clinically-registered professional looking for a role where your clinical judgement really matters? Perhaps you're ready to broaden your clinical experience, move away from traditional frontline working patterns or take your career in a new direction, while continuing to make a meaningful difference to people's lives.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our All-Age Complex and Continuing Care (AACCC) service as a Band 6 Clinical Practitioner, supporting children, young people and adults with some of the most complex health and care needs across Thames Valley.

As a Clinical Practitioner, you'll play a vital role in ensuring people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time. Working closely with individuals, their families and a wide range of health and social care professionals, you'll use your clinical expertise to assess complex needs, support person-centred decisions and help people achieve the best possible quality of life.

It's an exciting time to join us. Having recently become part of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, we're embarking on an ambitious programme of transformation, bringing our teams together, strengthening our clinical practice and developing new ways of working. We're looking for compassionate, curious and motivated professionals who want to be part of that journey and help shape the future of our service.

As a Clinical Practitioner within our All-Age Complex and Continuing Care (AACCC) service, you'll use your clinical knowledge and experience to make a real difference to people living with complex health and care needs. This is an opportunity to take your nursing career in a new direction, combining clinical assessment, professional judgement and collaborative working to help ensure people receive the right care and support.

At the heart of your role will be undertaking NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) assessments and reviews, working closely with individuals, their families and multidisciplinary teams to understand their needs and make evidence-based recommendations in line with the National Framework. You'll also have opportunities to develop your experience across the wider CHC pathway, including Fast Track, care planning, clinical commissioning, case management and personal health budgets.

No two days will be quite the same. You'll work with people in a variety of settings, navigate complex clinical situations and bring information to influence different professionals to support person-centred decision making. You'll advocate for individuals, work collaboratively with health and social care partners and use your clinical expertise to help ensure care is safe, appropriate and responsive to changing needs.
