Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 4 Clinical Support Worker to join the Newham Health Team for Adults with Learning Disabilities (NTPLD), as part of a fixed term contract.

We are looking for a passionate individual to be part of the Primary Care Liaison Service, which focuses on providing support to young people and adults with learning disabilities around accessing their GP practice and additional primary care services.

The Primary Care Liaison Service works closely with GPs to identify individuals with a learning disability and provide additional support, such as helping to arrange appointments for people with special requirements by promoting reasonable adjustments.

They also work closely with people with learning disabilities and their families and carers with the aims to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities.

The service mainly support adults over 18, but also young people aged 14 and over who are registered with a Newham GP and who have a learning disability with regard to their transition to adult services and access to an annual health check.

This post is suitable for someone who is passionate about primary health care and promoting Annual Health Checks, by ensuring a high quality holistic approach to the health care and support provided to people with learning disabilities.

You need to be highly motivated, imaginative and committed to improving health outcomes and challenging barriers to healthcare for this population.

The post is hosted by the East London NHS Foundation Trust, but works in close partnership with the CCG and local authority.

The post is based within the NTPLD offices, but travel is required to other parts of the borough.

You will be required to work autonomously, as well as part of the wider team, with a variety of agencies outside of the Trust.

As the Clinical Support Worker, you will be clinically and operationally supervised by the Band 7 Primary Care Liaison Nurse Lead.

The Trust actively encourages professional development through the appraisal process and regular supervision, and you will be offered support to develop your nursing skills within an established team.

This post is full time and is for a 14th month contract. End date, April 2024.
