Job description

Job responsibilities

Provide specialist autonomous assessment, triage, symptom management and coordination of care for patients with palliative and end-of-life needs and those important to them. Work alongside the Band 7 Operational Manager, contributing to day-to-day service decisions and maintaining the operational skills needed to provide agreed management cover during absence.

Professional accountability to the Clinical Lead.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

Key working relationships

Clinical Lead, Clinical Director, Operational Manager or Clinical Assessor, Hospice at Home nurses and healthcare assistants, medical team, hospice multidisciplinary services, quality and governance colleagues, primary care, community nursing, specialist palliative care and urgent care partners. Work with Rowans Hospice colleagues to share learning and align practice through agreed arrangements.

Specialist clinical assessment and response

Act as an autonomous specialist nurse, leading holistic assessment and triage of referrals and patients with complex palliative and end-of-life needs. Prioritise response according to urgency, clinical risk, service criteria and available resources.

Undertake timely assessments in the home and other agreed settings, including hospital assessment where this forms part of an approved pathway. Assess physical symptoms, psychological, social and spiritual needs, family and carer needs and risks to safe care at home.

Use history taking, physical assessment and clinical reasoning within competence to identify deterioration, potentially reversible problems and the need for medical or specialist review. Escalate emergencies and concerns through agreed pathways.

Plan, deliver and evaluate symptom management and nursing interventions with patients, those important to them and the multidisciplinary team. Develop anticipatory plans, clear review arrangements and safety-netting advice.

Support advance care planning, preferred place of care and ReSPECT discussions within competence. Undertake verification of expected death and other extended procedures only following relevant training, assessment and hospice authorisation.

Coordination and clinical leadership

Coordinate complex care and support timely discharge to the community, confirming that necessary care, medicines, equipment, information and follow-up arrangements are in place.

Provide specialist advice and clinical support to the Hospice at Home team and partners. Lead or contribute to multidisciplinary discussions, case reviews and clinical supervision.

Work with the Operational Manager to prioritise referrals, review the caseload and allocate work according to patient need, staff competence and capacity. Identify patients whose needs require another service or escalation.

Contribute to clinical standards, audit, service evaluation and improvement. Collect accurate activity and outcome data and use patient and carer feedback to improve the service.

Operational participation and absence cover

Participate regularly in operational reviews, rota and capacity planning, team communication and governance activity so that management knowledge and skills are maintained alongside clinical practice.
