Band 7 Clinical Nurse Position – Urgent Community Response

Walsall’s urgent community response model is a well-established service, with a fully integrated domiciliary care system and strong relationships with Social Services and the Acute Sector.

As a Band 7 Clinical Nurse, you will coordinate care and guide patients through various healthcare pathways, ensuring they receive appropriate care across primary and secondary services. This includes preventing unnecessary hospital admissions through a national 2-hour targeted response.

Please note: This vacancy may close early if we receive a high number of applications.

This is a great opportunity to further your career as an urgent community response nurse, supporting the delivery of the New Ambition for Older People—Standard 7 high-performance indicators, which focus on preventing hospital admissions and facilitating timely hospital discharge.

As part of one of our unplanned, front-door services, you will manage a caseload of patients requiring complex case management. Your role will focus on preventing hospital admissions and improving health outcomes for patients over a limited period. You will work autonomously while continuing to monitor and manage your caseload, collaborating with the wider nursing team to ensure optimal patient care within the community.

We offer a range of inpatient and outpatient services at the Manor Hospital, as well as various community health services. The Trust’s state-of-the-art facilities, including a Critical Care Unit, Neonatal Unit, Obstetric Theatre, and Integrated Assessment Unit, were enhanced by a £170 million redevelopment completed in 2010. A new, multi-million-pound Urgent and Emergency Care Centre, scheduled for completion this year, will include a new Emergency Department (with a dedicated Children’s Emergency Department), a Paediatric Assessment Unit, and an Acute Medical Unit.

We are committed to flexible working for all employees and prospective candidates.
