Job overview
Lincolnshire Community Health Services are looking for Senior Healthcare Assistants to join the Lincoln North Community Nursing Team
Being a Senior Healthcare Assistant is a privileged position where you would be responsible for delivering high quality, patient centred nursing interventions for individuals in their own homes, residential settings and clinics within urban and rural areas of Lincolnshire.
The service works over 7 days between the hours of 0800-1830 (varying shifts available).
Main duties of the job
The skillset of a Senior Healthcare support worker is vast and non-exhaustive.
Examples of the interventions provided are; wound management, continence care, palliative care, medication administration and long term condition management.
We aim to support and empower patients, families and carers to collaboratively plan individualised care, promote independence, and ultimately enable patients to manage their own nursing care needs where possible. We strive to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and work closely with neighbourhood and other multidisciplinary teams to provide the safest and most appropriate care.
Training will be provided to those new to the community.
Working for our organisation
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. 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.
We are an ambassador of a learning culture that will support the right individual to progress in their chosen career through an ‘earn while you learn’ apprenticeship programme.
