The aims and intended outcomes of the service which are set out below are based on the commitments in the ‘Healthcare and people who are homeless Commissioning Guidance for London’, which was produced by Healthy London Partnership (HLP) revised April 2019

The service provider will carry out a triage and a comprehensive physical health check for all residents that consent to this assessment. Based on the outcome of this health check, a plan will be put in place to address any unmet needs or sign post the resident accordingly.  All residents found not to be registered with a GP will be supported in registering with one and supported to access other health services or social care / voluntary sector support

The service currently operates from 09.00 - 17.00hrs, Monday to Friday.

The post holder will be a Registered Nurse, with at least 2 years community experience of managing a complex caseload of patients.  You will be responsible for a caseload of patients with complex health and social care needs. You will work autonomously to  case manage these clients and use advanced nursing skills, such as assessment and prescribing to manage their conditions in the community.

They will work as part of the integrated care team, working within and across professional and organisational boundaries. Liaising with GPs, other professionals and statutory and voluntary agencies he/she will deliver individualised care to patients.
