The Acute Home Visiting service works collaboratively with the local GP and Integrated Teams in Swadlincote which provides a varied source of support. Our patient group is patients in their own homes and in the Oakland bedded unit which supports patients discharged from hospital.
Our team is happy, skilled and provide an excellent working environment with opportunities to learn and develop in this role.

We aim to recruit clinicians who are passionate in supporting and empowering patients and their family/carers to manage their complex health needs.
We strive to support patients accessing help when needed and optimising health outcomes.
We want to support patients to remain in their own homes as appropriate preventing unnecessary admission to hospital and support patients to return home as needed.

We employ around 4,200 substantive staff, caring for patients in 11 community hospitals and more than 30 health centres, as well as in clinics, GP practices, schools, care homes and, increasingly, in people’s own homes and via virtual consultations.
