Job summary
We are seeking a motivated, experienced and compassionate Advanced Clinical Practitioner to join our Hospital at Home Service.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a dynamic, multidisciplinary team delivering high-quality, patient-centred care to individuals in their own home or usual place of residence. The service supports hospital avoidance, urgent community response, step-up care and early supported discharge, enabling patients to receive safe and effective care closer to home.

The primary aim of the role is to ensure that a high-quality service is delivered to patients and their carers in a timely and responsive manner. The role is multidimensional and requires the post holder to integrate and fulfil the key dimensions of advanced clinical practice, including clinical practice, leadership, education and service development.

Main duties of the job
As an Advanced Clinical Practitioner within the Hospital at Home Service, you will act as an autonomous and accountable practitioner, working on your own initiative and in collaboration with nursing, medical, therapy and allied health professional colleagues. You will assess individual patient needs, initiate appropriate investigations, determine differential diagnoses and commence holistic, evidence-based treatment and care.

You will play a key role in supporting safe clinical decision-making, promoting patient independence, reducing unnecessary hospital admission and supporting timely discharge from hospital. The post holder will also act as a positive role model for staff, demonstrating high standards of clinical practice, professionalism, communication and compassionate care.

The Hospital at Home Service operates over seven days, 8am to 8pm, including bank holidays. The successful candidate will therefore be required to work flexibly across the service rota to support safe and responsive service delivery.

We are looking for an individual who is enthusiastic about delivering care in the community, confident in advanced clinical assessment and decision-making, and committed to improving outcomes for patients and their carers.

About us
We are an acute trust caring for over one million people in Wakefield and Kirklees. Our 10,000 staff work in patients homes, the community, and our three hospitals in Pontefract, Dewsbury, and Pinderfields (Wakefield).

We prioritise our people and values so we can deliver the best possible care to patients. Our team is friendly, passionate, and innovative, always seeking better ways to work.

We support work-life balance and foster a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone belongs. Our staff networks offer safe spaces to share ideas and concerns so we can increase awareness and appreciation of equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and especially encourage members of the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minority groups, and people with disabilities or neurodivergence to apply, as they are currently underrepresented in the Trust.

As a member of the team, you will have access to the NHS pension plan, a generous holiday allowance, employee health and wellbeing services and extensive benefits and support. These include onsite nurseries, childcare vouchers, home electronics schemes, working carers support, carer-friendly policies, and more.

If you value caring, high standards, improvement, and respect, join the MY team to make a difference every day.
