Join the Future of Patient Care. Are you a compassionate and detail-oriented healthcare professional ready to embrace innovative care delivery? Our dynamic Virtual Ward team in East Sussex is seeking a Remote Monitoring Clinician to help transform patient experiences and outcomes from the comfort of their homes.

The Virtual Ward forms part of the Urgent Community Response (UCR) team. We are a 7-day service that supports acutely unwell patients that would otherwise be in a hospital bed, supporting both early discharge from hospital and admission avoidance. The team responds to the needs of patients in the place they call home.

The service provides both in-person care from nursing, therapies, and social support, as well as remote monitoring of vital signs and facilitation of remote consultations and communication with patients.

We are looking for an experienced nurse, paramedic, or allied health professional with a passion for patient care and the drive, enthusiasm, and talent to develop services to support patients on the Virtual Ward.

• Lead the onboarding and clinical management for patients on remote monitoring.
• Develop your clinical skills in conducting remote clinical assessments and treatment for patients across the Virtual Ward pathways.
• Develop new skills outside of your normal scope of practice to enable a single holistic assessment approach, following established escalation pathways.

The role will be primarily office-based within the Virtual Ward Hub. At present, the role is core working hours 08:00 - 18:00 with weekend/bank holiday working on a rota basis. The wider Virtual Ward service operates 7 days a week covering shifts 08:00 until 22:00.
