CLCH Hertfordshire Adult Community Services - CLCH NHS Trust provides a range of Community Services, and the Hertfordshire Division is recruiting!

We are recruiting for a Band 6 EIV Specialist Nurse/Paramedic on an 8 month secondment.

The purpose of the EIV pathway is to deliver crisis management to patients living in Herts Valleys and to prevent a hospital admission, providing a clinical assessment by a nurse or paramedic jointly with a HCA.  The operational hours of this pathway are currently 08:00 - 20.00 - 7 days a week (subject to change once fully established).

The EIV pathway is closely aligned to the Unplanned Care service, which delivers high-quality clinical care to patients in their own home at times of crisis. The purpose of the Rapid Response (RR) pathway is to prevent hospital attendance/admission, and the Discharge to Assess (DTA) pathway is to facilitate early discharge from the hospital. The Unplanned Care team operates from 08:00 to 22:00, 7 days a week.  The newly established EIV will supplement and support the delivery of Rapid Response and Discharge to Assess in the Unplanned care service.

As this is a community-based role, with travel between patient homes, there is a requirement to hold a full, valid, UK driving licence and have access to a car to use for business purposes (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010).
