Job description

Overview

We are looking for a Senior Practitioner to work within Gainsborough Urgent Treatment Centre, delivering face to face consultations.

Service Scope

We are looking to recruit dynamic individuals with minor illness and minor injury skills that will also compliment the existing team of Senior and Urgent Care Practitioners, ACPS and HCSW's. The service will include seeing, treating and management of patients with both minor injury and minor illness. See, treat, manage, discharge and or refer patients of all age ranges to other LCHS services or partner services across Lincolnshire.

On occasion you may be required to support other urgent care services such as UTC's, home visiting and the Clinical Assessment Service (CAS) which run 24/7 services. There is daily GP support available remotely or in person as well as well established referral pathways into specialities.

Working Practices

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.

Learning and Development

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.

Consultations will either take place face to face or via telephone and documented timely and thoroughly within patient notes. The post holder will influence, lead, support and motivate colleagues to maintain morale in difficult and challenging situations. The post holder will provide clinical lead during a shift by modelling the professional attitudes and behaviours outlined in the LCHS behaviours framework.
