NHS Sussex ICB rg0C14vB
This position requires a commitment of at least three days a week and entails occasional travel for assessments and reviews. NHS Sussex promotes an inclusive workplace and strongly encourages applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds, including Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities, disabled individuals, and veterans. The organisation is dedicated to employee development through structured supervision and appraisal systems to address individual growth needs and improve service delivery.
NHS Sussex ICB ambition is to create an inclusive working environment which reflects our commitment to celebrate and promote diversity for all groups. We are particularly under-represented in staff from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and disabled communities and actively encourage and welcome applications from these communities. Furthermore, we welcome applications from reservists and ex-armed forces as we recognise the benefits of the values, skills, training and experience that they bring to their work with us.
We encourage all applicants to share their equality information with us confidentially during the application process so that we can statistically monitor how fair and equitable our recruitment process is and how well we are reaching applicants from diverse communities and identify where we need to improve. This information is removed before shortlisting.
All Age Continuing Care (AACC) have opportunities for band 6 Senior Practitioners to join our Clinical Bank.
The post holder will play a key role across the CHC service, working within the remit of the National Framework for Continuing Healthcare, to deliver an effective, efficient and equitable service to the people and populations of Sussex.
Prior experience of CHC would be beneficial, but is not essential for this role, as you will work within an experienced and supportive team who will support you to develop the relevant knowledge required. The post holder should however have experience of working within health or care, and will need excellent verbal and written communication skills, as you will be required to work closely with patients, families, carers and other external partners.
As a Senior Practitioner, your role will include delivery of a variety of functions across the CHC service, including: Assessment, Reviews, Care Planning and Case Management.
You will also have the opportunity to work across other areas of CHC, including audit, appeals, retrospective assessments, complaints, assessment verification, and many more.
You will be supported to develop the necessary skills and experience to work across the whole pathway, safely, confidently and effectively.
Candidates would need to be able to work a minimum of 3 days a week on the bank and would need to be experienced in continuing healthcare.
