Do you want to work in a service where we diagnose lung cancer early and save people's lives? Do you have experience in communications within the NHS, public health or local authority and are looking for a new opportunity? Are you enthusiastic, autonomous, and able to positively respond to change?

An exciting opportunity has arisen to work as part of the expanded Greater Manchester Targeted Lung Health Check programme.

This award-winning programme delivers lung cancer screening to people aged between 55 and 74 years old, who have ever smoked in their lifetimes, from mobile clinics in the community.

This dynamic Community Engagement facilitator post will be based at Wythenshawe hospital but will require regular travel to our community clinics, when they are situated at locations across Greater Manchester, as well as other GM based community locations (to engage with a multitude of external stakeholders).

Travel payments will be made for any travel completed above home to base mileage.

You will receive an enhanced induction and training package and be part of an established team with support for you to thrive in your role and contribute to improved patient care, health, and quality of life.

Proactively work together with services across boundaries to ensure people are kept up to date in the community regarding the schedule of the mobile CT scanning units and providing information about the TLHC programme to community stakeholders (including the benefits of enabling this service to be delivered)..
Champion a personalised care approach, working with multiple services to ensure maximal uptake of the TLHC programme including for patients with protected characteristics and from different cultural, ethnic and deprivation backgrounds. This will include coordinating a Making Every Contact Count package for each GM locality so TLHC patients have all possible needs met for enhanced health and wellbeing.
Provide patient choice and ensure people and their carers have access to the TLHC programme at the right time in the right place, which includes working with the programme, nursing, commercial and other teams to ensure the times and locations of the service meet the needs of the local population.
Gather information at the earliest opportunity and present this to internal and external stakeholders to give them confidence and aid their decisions in the smooth and effective delivery of this communitybased programme.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings.

Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated.

If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the 'NHS England' website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.

Diversity Matters

We're looking forward to hearing from you
