DIUCS Senior Clinician - Nurse​/Paramedic | HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust

About the role

Are you an experienced nurse or paramedic, looking to develop your skills and knowledge? Dorset Integrated Urgent Care Service (DIUCS) would like to hear from you.

As a Clinical Assessment and Treatment Centre Senior Clinician, based at our site in St. Leonards, you will be part of a team of clinicians providing visible clinical support to our Health Advisors and wider clinical teams during hours of operation; leading by example as an effective Clinician is essential within this role.

DIUCS are committed to the development of our clinical teams and offer a range of accredited University modules and in‑house training to enhance skills and knowledge. Successful completion would put you in a great position to apply for exciting clinical roles within the service.

Calls will be directed to you when patients require clinical advice, using a combination of your clinical experience and our Pathways Clinical Consultation System (PaCCS) software to ensure the patient receives the most suitable treatment tailored to their needs. Treatment can range from self‑care and advice to referring patients to other services.

The role benefits from 24/7 rotas and enhanced shift allowance for evenings, weekends and public holidays. This is a part‑time role of 28.5 hours per week (minimum of 22 hours per week considered).

You will undertake high‑quality, holistic, patient‑centred clinical assessments of patients via the telephone, which always considers people’s safety, privacy and dignity.

Provide an excellent standard of clinical practice including safely managing the call back queues through the systems, providing clinical support and advice to our non‑clinical Health Advisor team and specialist advice to others regarding the management and care of patients. Plan, implement and review health improvement programmes in a range of settings. Provide supervision, mentorship, training and clinical support to students, trained practitioners and non‑clinical colleagues.

Applications from candidates that require current Skilled Worker sponsorship to work in the UK are unfortunately ineligible for this position.

Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.
