Job description

Job summary

Unfortunately, we are unable to consider applications from individuals who require sponsorship.

We have exciting opportunities for you to join our All Age Complex & Continuing Care (AACCC) team, working across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West.

We are looking for highly motivated Registered Nurses of all disciplines AND/OR Allied Health Professionals who can work autonomously and collaboratively in a multi-agency environment to support the assessment and review process for NHS Continuing Health Care (CHC) and NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC). Prior knowledge of AACCC would be beneficial but is not essential as you will work within an experienced and supportive team who will support you as you settle into your new role.

Support will be available from colleagues and senior management to help you develop the necessary skills and experience to work across the whole pathway, safely, confidently and effectively. As you demonstrate your expertise and skills, you will have autonomy to plan and prioritise your own workload to meet the requirements of the post.

There is the opportunity to work full time or part time on a hybrid basis, and we support flexible working options to enhance work/life balance. We operate within core hours, Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays.

Main duties of the job

You will be involved in patient assessment and reviews, care planning, case management, audits, appeals, retrospective assessments, complaints, assessment verification, and more.

The post holder will undertake specialist health needs assessments for individuals undergoing assessment for, or already eligible for, NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS Funded Nursing Care.

Assessments are primarily carried out within the community in residential settings but may also involve a hybrid approach. Access to a car is required, and travel expenses will be reimbursed according to NHS policy.

You will work with individuals and/or their representatives, liaise with private providers, partner organisations, and other health and social care professionals to ensure assessments are person-centered.
