Lincolnshire Community Health Service NHS Trust
Lincolnshire Community Heath Service (LCHS) have an opportunity for a Registered Nurse to join their Boston Community Nursing Team. We have 1 full-time vacancy for a Band 5 Community Nurse. As a community staff nurse, you will be required to work autonomously and as part of a team, delivering care to patients in their own homes, care homes, and clinic settings. Successful candidates will be responsible for assessing care needs, and the planning, delivery, and evaluation of nursing care using innovative evidence-based practice. Main duties of the job
Community nursing is exceptionally rewarding as it allows wonderful therapeutic relationships to be developed with patients in their own homes. Working in this capacity embodies the person-centred care approach and allows patients to truly be at the centre of care delivery. The skillset of a community nurse is vast and non-exhaustive requiring knowledge and expertise in a range of areas. Examples of interventions provided are wound management, continence care, palliative care, medication administration, and long-term condition management. Close working with the MDT (Social Workers, GP's, and Allied Health Professionals) to ensure that patients' care is effectively coordinated, demonstrates a positive impact on our patients. About us
'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. 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. Job responsibilities
