Job summary
INTERNAL ONLY TO NORTH CUMBRIA INTEGRATED CARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST (NCIC) EMPLOYEES ONLY
The post holder will bring their nursing, knowledge, and experience to Copeland to oversee one of the core nursing teams and participate in the wider multi professional team to ensure that we are delivering safe, high quality holistic nursing care to patients on our caseloads in accordance with professional standards.
This is an exciting time in Copeland as our nursing teams are playing a key role in delivering the second phase of Integrated Care Communities (ICCs). The skills of the post holder will be vitally important to continue to build relationships and networks within the ICCs. The post holder will be a nurse who can inspire, motivate and think differently in order to improve patient care with other key partners and stakeholders in Copeland ICC.
Main duties of the job
This role requires you to demonstrate the skills and knowledge to deliver high quality patient care, supporting patients with long term conditions and complex needs across Copeland, along with clinically managing the unique challenges this rural area poses. The role will also require you to provide clinical leadership and operational management of the community nursing team along with the management of the clinical caseload for the team.
Integrated Care Communities (ICC's) aim to address the challenges of an aging population and increasing demand on health and care services by providing more out of hospital care and empowering people to take control of their health and wellbeing. This will require new ways of working to focus on preventing ill health and ensure services are sustainable for the future. These new ways of working will follow the same approach across all eight ICC's in North Cumbria with flexibility to tailor services to the needs of the local population.
We are able to provide an individually tailored preceptorship programme for the successful candidate.
