About the role
Please note: at this stage, the role is open only to colleagues currently employed within Kent and Medway NHS Trusts, the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Medway Community Healthcare. Nursing vacancies are also open to Student Nurses and Newly Qualified Nurses. We are seeking a committed and forward-thinking Specialty Doctor to join our Urgent Care Services. Our developing Community Frailty Service includes geriatric consultants, Specialty Doctors, a Consultant Practitioner, GPs, Advanced Frailty Practitioners (ACPs) and trainee ACPs. The West Kent Home Treatment Service is an innovative MDT providing hospital-level interventions in patients' homes. The team delivers CGA, IV therapies, bedside diagnostics, medication reviews, and oxygen/nebuliser therapy where appropriate. The service operates seven days a week, with team check-ins at the start and end of each shift. Home visits are planned, with paired visits where needed. Trust vehicles are available, though access to a car is essential. You will work with extensive clinical equipment and a highly skilled team to provide a rapid two-hour community response. There may also be opportunities to support community hospital cover, alongside involvement in QI and educational activities. This role requires energy, curiosity and a passion for delivering high-quality care in the community. In return, it offers significant clinical satisfaction and the chance to shape innovative models of urgent and frailty care.
