Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, highly motivated and experienced Advanced Care Practitioner who possesses an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice/Clinical Masters at Spalding Urgent Treatment Centre. 

Main duties of the job

The Advanced Clinical Practitioner role works beyond normal professional boundaries as a Registered Nurse and will be working at an advanced level within the four ACP pillars of clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research. You will be expected to be autonomous in assessing and managing  patients attending the Urgent Treatment Centre with minor injury  and illness presentations.

Working for our organisation

‘Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is in the top 25 per cent of all community trusts for overall staff engagement in the 2021 NHS National Staff Survey.

At LCHS, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in LCHS’ workforce. 

LCHS recognises the increasing demand for more flexibility in working practices in order to accommodate the personal goals and commitments that employees experience at different stages during their working lives.  Flexible working opportunities such as part-time working, compressed hours, job shares, and hybrid working models can help staff to balance their personal and work commitments.  Arrangements can be put in place if it can be shown that the needs of the individual can be balanced with those of the service and the impact on other team members, enabling the Trust to recruit and retain skilled staff, raise staff morale, reduce absenteeism and respond to changing service needs more effectively.

We are an ambassador of a learning culture that will support the right individual to progress in their chosen career through an ‘earn while you learn’ apprenticeship programme.  Visit our Learning and Development page to find out more https://www.lincolnshirecommunityhealthservices.nhs.uk/join-us/learning-and-dev
