Community Care Nurse Specialist
This job is now closed
Job summary
St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice has been working for the past 4 years with Adult Social Care and developed a truly innovative and exciting specialist nurse role to work at Lincoln County Hospital, in collaboration with a fellow Community Care Nurse Specialist based in Pilgrim Hospitals. The role enables people in their last year of life to have their palliative and end of life care needs identified much earlier. This in turn improves person centered outcomes, including symptom management and wellbeing for people by enabling timely access to palliative care in the community including hospice care.
Community Care Specialist Nurses work as part of the Adult Social Care Team and wider multidisciplinary team, and when necessary, work alongside other clinical staff to support senior clinical decision making. The Community Care Specialist Nurse uses advanced knowledge and skills to facilitate complex communication and care planning in the community for people who often have their complex needs associated with palliative and end of life care needs missed.
The service has been commissioned by both Adult Social Care and the Integrated Care Board through St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice. The partnership continues to work together with key stakeholders to develop the service and support its implementation across Boston and Lincoln ULHT sites.
