Community Matron – Rosedean House Surgery

Rosedean House Surgery is seeking an experienced Community Matron to join our primary care team.
The Community Matron will support patients of all ages with diverse and often complex health needs across the Liskeard community. They will provide personalised, holistic care for adults with long-term conditions, frailty, and multiple comorbidities — helping patients live well at home, in care homes, or in other community settings. Given that a significant proportion of our population is older, this role will include a focus on supporting frail and elderly patients, while also addressing the broader needs of adults of working age with complex or chronic conditions.

The Community Matron will play a central role in:
Enabling patients to remain independent and at home for as long as possible
Reducing avoidable hospital admissions
Coordinating care across primary, community, and social care services
This position is ideal for a clinician who is passionate about proactive, patient-centred care, enjoys working across a diverse community, and wants to make a meaningful difference in the lives of both older adults and younger adults living with complex health needs.

System used: EMIS

Key Responsibilities
Clinical Care
Provide advanced clinical assessment, diagnosis, and management of adults with complex, long-term conditions — including frail, elderly, and housebound patients — in their homes, care homes, and community healthcare settings.
Deliver proactive clinical care, including falls risk assessment, polypharmacy review, and anticipatory care planning.
Work closely with families, carers, and social care teams to support patients with complex needs.

Leadership & Coordination
Lead and coordinate clinical care pathways with GPs, community nursing, care homes, therapy teams, social care, and voluntary sector partners.
Support the development of proactive care initiatives and early intervention within the practice and PCN.
