A Vacancy at Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust.


The Learning Disability Service strives to provide forward thinking high quality services, working in partnership with other agencies and people with lived experience. To this end we have an exciting project focused on the respiratory needs of people with a learning disability and their families. Research and contemporary evidenced shows us that people with a learning disability from ethnic minority backgrounds die significantly younger (30 years) than their white learning disabled peers, and 50 years younger than white non-learning disabled peers.

You will be a Registered Nurse, with up to date knowledge, of health policy and legislation applicable to health inequalities and people with complex needs. You will have a special understanding of the health needs of people from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Are you passionate about improving health outcomes for people with learning disabilities from minority ethnic backgrounds within Greater Preston and Pennine Lancashire? We are seeking a dynamic, motivated and innovative Registered Nurse to join our project team, which is part of the All Age Learning Disability Service.

This exciting and unique opportunity has arisen as a result of a successful grant application to the Burdett Trust for Nursing Respiratory Health programme, to address the inequalities in the respiratory health of people with learning disabilities in Lancashire from minority ethnic backgrounds.

You will be a Registered Nurse, with up to date knowledge, of health policy and legislation applicable to health inequalities and people with complex needs, and with the ability to travel between greater Preston and Pennine Lancashire. You will have an understanding and experience of the health needs of people from ethnic minority backgrounds, the prevalence of respiratory illness, and be passionate about reducing health inequalities.

Are you a Registered Nurse with proven skills in working and communicating with people who have complex health needs and able to demonstrate that your practice is evidence based and innovative? If so this is the role for you.

A good knowledge of challenges faced by individuals from a monitory ethnic background is essential to this role.

Specialist provision comprises inpatient child and adolescent mental health services, perinatal mental health and forensic services including low and medium secure care.
