We are Manchester Local Care Organisation - an exciting, new public sector organisation that is bringing together NHS community health services and social care services in the city. We’re driven by the aim of improving the health of local people in Manchester by working across organisational boundaries.

An opportunity has arisen to join our exciting and innovative team of nurses in the Manchester Community Response IV teams. Since first established in October 2013 we have grown into a city wide service and enabled many patients to stay in the comfort of their own homes whilst receiving IV treatment or subcutaneous hydration that would have otherwise required a hospital admission.

We not only prevent hospital admission but also facilitate early discharge by inserting vascular access devices and arranging community IV therapy. The team has shown that IV therapy is a cost efficient way of treating patients, and that the patient experience is greatly enhanced as they are able to carry on with their lives and avoid the disruption that can be caused by a hospital admission. It also means that hospital beds are freed up for those patients who are not able to receive treatment elsewhere.

This role gives a unique opportunity to develop your skills in a community setting and work within the teaching hospitals of this large NHS Trust delivering autonomous and bespoke care in an in patient and outpatient environment. The service is still evolving and so networking, training and data collection and evaluation will be an important part of the role. You will be involved in patient discussions with clinicians of all levels on a daily basis therefore excellent communication skills are essential. You will have the opportunity to expand your practice by attending the clinical examinations skills course and being involved in the insertion, care and maintenance of different intra-vascular access devices for the longer term patients.

We are looking for a reliable, motivated member of staff with extensive experience in intravenous therapy and cannulation to join our citywide team. You will be based in one of the three localities but may be required to work across the city at times of pressure.
