Main Responsibilities

As a Nurse, you will work with a good degree of independence, carrying out tasks and responsibilities delegated by the lead clinician. You will be an important part of the team, helping to meet the needs of patients in community settings, initially focusing on those referred through the 2-hour Urgent Community Response (UCR), and later supporting the development of broader referral pathways.

Working within a multidisciplinary team and across primary, secondary, acute, and social care services in Wiltshire, you will play a key role in coordinating specialist interventions for people who might otherwise require hospital care, or who need timely support to leave emergency departments safely.

You will take responsibility for your clinical caseload and help ensure smooth coordination of care throughout each patient’s journey.

As part of this role, your responsibilities will include:

Clinical practice – Providing evidence-based advanced clinical skills to support appropriate patient care, under the guidance of a registered clinician. This includes assessing patients, interpreting tests within your scope of practice, and planning care and treatment. You will recognise early signs of deterioration, respond promptly, escalate when needed, and document your actions clearly.
Management – Organising your time and workload effectively, advocating for patients, managing your caseload day to day, offering advice and treatment recommendations, working closely with clinicians in the Virtual Ward team, and contributing to supervision.
Leadership – Serving as a positive role model for colleagues and promoting collaborative working. You will help challenge traditional boundaries in a supportive way while upholding high standards of quality, safety, and professional practice.
Supporting the learning environment – Demonstrating commitment to your own professional development and supporting the learning of colleagues and student nurses.
Continuous improvement – Noticing areas where practice can be strengthened and contributing to improvement efforts within a Just Culture that values reflection and learning.
