Lincolnshire Community Health Services are seeking a full time District Nurse / Case Manager to join them within the Lincoln North Community Nursing Team. The team are based at Ravendale Health Centre in the Lincoln North area.
Qualifications
Applicants should hold the Community Specialist Practitioner qualification (DNSPQ) and have experience of managing a caseload of patients and leading a team of staff in delivering excellent patient care. Alternatively a Case Manager without the DNSPQ may be considered for the right candidate with a minimum of 2 years experience within a Community Nursing Team and the willingness to undertake the DNSPQ course.
Key responsibilities and working patterns
The service delivers care to patients in a variety of community settings across a 7 day service covering the hours of 8:00-18:30 (shift work involved).
The District Nurse/Case Manager will hold a caseload of patients with varying health needs, coordinating care delivery. They will need to have extensive communication, interpersonal and clinical skills in order to be successful.
The District Nurse/Case Manager is not only integral to leading on patient care but leading the community nursing team through challenging times and the transformation of services, role modelling excellent behaviours which are in line with our trust values. The District Nurse/Case Manager is essential to improving the quality of care that we deliver and in ensuring that the patient has a positive experience.
Diversity & Inclusion
Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is in the top 25 per cent of all community trusts for overall staff engagement in the 2021 NHS National Staff Survey.
At LCHS, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in LCHS’ workforce.
Flexible working arrangements
LCHS recognises the increasing demand for more flexibility in working practices in order to accommodate the personal goals and commitments that employees experience at different stages during their working lives. Flexible working opportunities such as part-time working, compressed hours, job shares, and hybrid working models can help staff to balance their personal and work commitments. Arrangements can be put in place if it can be shown that the needs of the individual can be balanced with those of the service and the impact on other team members, enabling the Trust to recruit and retain skilled staff, raise staff morale, reduce absenteeism and respond to changing service needs more effectively.
Learning and Development
The Trust runs an ‘earn while you learn’ apprenticeship programme. Visit our Learning and Development page to find out more https://www.lincolnshirecommunityhealthservices.nhs.uk/join-us/learning-and-dev
