Care Home Hub GP

Job Summary

What matters to me, is what matters to us.

Calling all frailty‑minded General Practitioners

Are you interested in older people’s care, frailty or palliative care? Are you frustrated by not having the time or capability to sort out complex problems properly? Do you often get the feeling that you could be doing more to improve quality of care for our most experienced members of society?

If so, come and find your tribe at the One Weston Care Home Hub in North Somerset, based at 168 Medical.

Pier Health Group are transforming the care of older people. We have led this charge with the development of a centralised Care Home Hub, servicing the healthcare needs of our 65 care homes. Yes, that’s a lot, isn’t it? We are hungry with ambition, and after our first year of success which saw us featured as a national exemplar, and our second year as finalists for a prestigious HSJ Award.

Join our existing team of dynamic clinicians in a multidisciplinary environment. This is no ordinary service; we are building a legacy for our population, and for our primary care workforce.

If you are tired of dealing with problems on the day and not having time to address the real issues, if you are feeling increasingly lonely working in primary or community care and missing the sense of team camaraderie, if you find yourself increasingly hands off rather than hands on, then this is the job for you.

Each day starts with a whole team check‑in either in person or via Microsoft Teams to check on wellbeing, discuss problems and ideas, share updates and to distribute workload.

Clinical lead of the day is assigned during this meeting.

The GP may then have a ward round in a care home, be completing comprehensive geriatric assessments, producing care plans and ReSPECT forms, liaising with families and other partners such as hospitals or district nurses, or dealing with requests for acutely unwell care home residents. There is protected time for learning activities, teaching, supervision, quality improvement work and meetings. This work takes place via a variety of formats – telephone, video, email and face to face.

Career and personal development is promoted through regular 1:1 meetings with the team leader.

The One Weston Care Home Hub is a true multidisciplinary team, established in 2021, bringing together a range of allied health professionals and GPs to work towards a common goal of improving care for care home residents in Weston Super Mare. Working alongside a friendly, dedicated team of GPs and allied health professionals (pharmacists, community nurses, advanced nurse practitioners, a paramedic and a mental health nurse) this innovative project is transforming community care in some of the most deprived wards in the country.

Excellent admin support enables clinicians to focus on clinical matters.
