Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen to work as part of the Nottinghamshire Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening multi-professional team.
The post holder will help support the delivery of the National Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening Programme throughout Nottinghamshire. The Nottinghamshire AAA Screening Programme is one of 38 AAA Screening Programmes in England.
The National AAA Screening Programme’s aim is to reduce the number of people who die from an AAA in the eligible population. Those eligible for screening are in the year they turn 65 or older, assigned male at birth and who are registered with a GP. Research has shown that by offering those eligible for screening, this reduces the rate of premature deaths from ruptured AAAs by up to 50%.
The post holder will support the health system to reduce inequalities in screening in accordance with the national Screening Inequalities Strategy, ensuring that the Screening Programme considers the needs of all individuals. This post will require establishing effective partnerships with local communities, third sector organisations commissioners, providers and local authorities.
We are looking for someone who is flexible, has a positive 'can do' attitude to meet the needs of the Screening Programme and Administration Team and someone who will promote an open, friendly and inclusive working environment.
The post hold must have a full, current, UK driving licence and have access to a car during working hours.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will co-ordinate, audit and produce regular reports on work undertaken to tackle health inequalities, ensuring that everyone can access the Nottinghamshire AAA Screening Programme and improve uptake. The post holder is also expected to support the team in developing a comprehensive annual timetable of awareness raising events and to attend these events, especially in the under-served communities held throughout Nottinghamshire. Some of these activities occur at the weekend and occasionally in the evenings.
