District Nurse / Case Manager
Band 6
We recognise that outstanding care can only be delivered through our people. We want to attract people who can help us deliver our vision. We want in return to help people achieve what they wish in their careers in the NHS at LCHS.
We are always keen to welcome highly skilled, committed and compassionate individuals to our teams – people who put patients at the heart of everything they do and are ready to help us achieve our vision.
Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) have come together in a Group arrangement, with the goal of improving the care provided to patients across the county.
This will not constitute a formal merger of the two organisations, but will bring the Trusts together under a single Board and Executive Leadership Team, with the goal of improving the care that is provided to patients both in the community and in hospitals across Lincolnshire. Both Trusts will retain their separate statutory names and legal obligations.
The Group will be known as Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group (LCHG).
We have adopted a vision of "Caring and building a healthier future for all" and three values to show what we stand for, how we want to be known and how we behave. Our Group values guide everything we do. They are:
Compassionate
Collaborative
Innovative
If you believe in them too, then you are ready to join the LCHG team.
We’ve taken great pride in building working environments where staff always feel valued, cared for and part of a team. Without doubt this is a challenging yet very rewarding job that is at the centre of health and care in Lincolnshire - making a positive difference to our patients. We are committed to helping our staff balance their work and home lives and ensure they feel supported, valued and appreciated.
REMEMBER - Please ensure you read all information prior to applying for any job roles. Please note any CV's or covering letters received via email will not be accepted without an online application being completed. Any applications via agency will also not be accepted.

The service delivers care to patients in a variety of community settings across a 7 day service covering the hours of 8:00- 18:30 (shift work involved).
Main duties of the job
The District Nurse/Case Manager will hold a caseload of patients with varying health needs, coordinating care delivery. They will need to have extensive communication, interpersonal and clinical skills in order to be successful.
The District Nurse/Case Manager is not only integral to leading on patient care but leading the community nursing team through challenging times and the transformation of services, role modelling excellent behaviours which are in line with our trust values. The District Nurse/Case Manager is essential to improving the quality of care that we deliver and in ensuring that the patient has a positive experience.
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.
