Summary
Full Time post working between South Shore Primary Care Centre, Fleetwood Hospital and home working (Monday -Friday). Part time hours will be considered.
If you are an organised, dynamic, forward-thinking individual, looking for a challenge then the Long Covid Service would love to hear from you!
This is an exciting time for a registered nurse with 3 years post qualification experience to join the team.
The service is a community based service providing coordinated and integrated care for patients over the age of 18 with ongoing symptoms post contracting Covid.
Referrals are accepted from all Primary and Secondary care services.
You will undertake a generic role as a Clinical Care Coordinator learning skills and knowledge from other professionals to provide an integrated model of care to patients aiming to ensure their care is provided in a coordinated way but also supporting them to manage their own care better. We are looking for the successful candidate to be able to:
• Assess, plan implement and evaluate care.
• Ensure that the care needs of the caseload are met by effective management and appropriate delegation of work to other members of the team.
• Work in partnership with the wider community and primary care teams to provide holistic patient care.

The team is multidisciplinary comprising of GP's, Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Dietitians, Clinical Psychologists and support staff.
The service operates across the whole of the Fylde coast, and based at South Shore Primary Care Centre and Fleetwood Hospital.
If you would like to work in a forward thinking area where your opinions and clinical judgements are valued, then this could the job for you. We can offer you support and training to consolidate your skills and enable you to continue to develop.
We recommend that all individuals employed in patient facing roles, or those located on a ward or department where patients receive a service should be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Working with primary, secondary and community colleagues, you will:
- Be an autonomous practitioner who holds delegated responsibility for a defined caseload, coordinating care, undertaking specialist assessments and planning safe discharges for patients within the Long Covid Service.
- Assess patients in their own home or clinic setting: plans, implement and review care of patients with complex on-going health and social care needs.
- Carry out specialist assessment and treatment including the prescription of essential equipment as part of a package of rehabilitation. Specifically assessing issues related to the barriers which prevent the patient carrying out activities of daily living e.g. mobility, moving and handling, functional restrictions, activity tolerance, hand eye coordination, positioning, cognitive impairment, environmental restrictions etc.
- ensure that patients receive the care they need linking into other services and agencies (statutory and voluntary) as appropriate and ensure the patients understand their medical conditions and medications they are taking.
- create outcome goals for the patient to achieve during their time within the CFS and lead on the development, implementation and monitoring of the patient specific care plan to ensure these goals are achieved.
- Work in the community as a lone practitioner in line with the Trust’s Lone Worker Policy.
