Job Introduction
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Hospital at Home team as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) based at in either Swindon or BaNES localities, you will provide acute hospital‑level care to patients across the locality.. You will be delivering acute, hospital‑level care to patients across BSW in the place they feel most comfortable: their own home.
Working at the forefront of modern healthcare, you will use your advanced clinical expertise to support patients who are either stepping up from community services or stepping down from an acute hospital setting. This innovative service bridges the gap between acute and community care, bringing together multidisciplinary expertise to deliver consistent, high‑quality treatment across all pathways.
Our Virtual Ward supports patients who would traditionally require hospital admission, instead enabling them to receive timely clinical review, remote monitoring, and holistic multidisciplinary care at home. This role offers the chance to make a real difference, reducing hospital stays while improving patient experience and outcomes.
You will be part of a forward‑thinking, compassionate team who share a passion for delivering safe, effective, and patient‑centred care, while shaping the future of Hospital at Home services.

You will apply advanced clinical reasoning to request and interpret investigations, initiate and review treatment plans, prescribe where appropriate, and monitor clinical and remote monitoring data to identify and respond to deterioration. Working collaboratively within the multidisciplinary team, you will develop and review personalised care plans that enable patients to receive high‑quality acute care at home.
You will provide clinical leadership and act as a senior decision‑maker and role model, practising in line with the four pillars of Advanced Clinical Practice and NMC or HCPC standards.
