Summary

We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic ACP to work within the Ripley Urgent Treatment Centre to join our growing team of ACPs.

Differing hours will be considered.

The role will support a core team of ACPs across the four units in order to provide a model of seven day service cover. The GM will be responsible for ensuring that the direction of the service continues.

As an ACP you will:

• Provide clinical leadership, including direct clinical care, and advice on complex issues in the UTCs

• Establish a cohesive team approach for the ACP workforce development

• Support the UTC service leads and managers with audit, innovation, and performance management

• Lead on training needs discussions, based on audit findings, supervision outputs and individual staff knowledge gaps

• Assist in feedback for staff appraisals.

• Deputise for the GM where necessary, if not being carried out by other members of staff.

You will apply advanced clinical expertise, levels of judgement, discretion and decision making to the provision of clinical care toadults and children, presenting with undifferentiated diagnosis both minor injuries and illnesswithin a UTC setting.

You will exercise a high degree of autonomy through the application of advanced clinical skills in relation to the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and management of adults and children.

You will lead and monitor improvements to quality of care through clinical audit, evidence-based practice, clinical supervision, teaching and supporting professional colleagues and the provision of skilled professional leadership.

Our purpose is to provide community health services to a patient population of over one million people in Derbyshire and Derby, as part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire.

We employ around 4,200 substantive staff, caring for patients in 11 community hospitals and more than 30 health centres, as well as in clinics, GP practices, schools, care homes and, increasingly, in people’s own homes and via virtual consultations.

It is an exciting time to join primary care and community services as the national Ageing Well programme gathers pace.

DCHS is working closely with the Primary Care Networks to transform the care of housebound and vulnerable people across Derbyshire through our Team-Up approach.

We’re seeking an ACP with a special interest in the management of the typical conditions seen within a UTC, to provide day-to-day clinical leadership support to the teams.

To provide leadership support for the clinicians already working in the service, to advance the care of the presenting patients (in line with our 4 pillars approach).

We’re looking for ACPs with a proven track record of working at this level in an urgent care environment and who can support Service Leads and Unit managers in safe care delivery.
