If you are an experienced Learning Disability Nurse, and are passionate about equal physical health outcomes for people with a Learning Disability from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, this is an exciting opportunity for you!

This innovative and newly created role is designed to effectively understand and mitigate the risks to life expectancy for people with a learning disability from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities.

You will have the opportunity to work closely with experienced colleagues across our three Community Learning Disability Teams, and partnership organisations. You will examine available evidence reflecting the pattern of ill-health (morbidity and mortality rates) in the BAME population with a Learning Disability, and you will help to develop sustainable and effective methods of training, assessment, intervention and evaluation to address disparities in physical health outcomes for people with learning disabilities from BAME communities across Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley.

For further information about the role, please refer to the attached Job Description. The main duties of this role include the following:
• Developing our understanding of the available evidence base relating to the needs of the local BAME population with learning disabilities, and exploring the how this can be utilised to best effect.
• Engaging with all nursing colleagues and other clinical leads, examining training, assessment, intervention and evaluation methods, and recommending any adjustments as necessary.
• Ensuring nurse clinics in Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich effectively address the needs of people with Learning Disabilities from BAME communities, regarding nursing observations, adjusted measures, risk assessment and clinical documentation. Additionally, sharing findings and recommendations with wider ALD clinicians.
• Engaging with key partner agencies (Primary Care/Acute Hospital Care/Public Health/Social Care etc), to ensure the needs of the BAME community with learning disabilities are recognised across the local system.

Oxleas offers a wide range of NHS healthcare services to people in community and secure environment settings. Our services include community health care such as district nursing and speech and language therapy, care for people with learning disabilities and mental health care such as psychiatry, nursing and therapies.

Our 4,300 members of staff work in many different settings including hospitals, clinics, prisons, secure hospitals, children’s centres, schools and people’s homes.

We have over 125 sites in a variety of locations in the South of England. In London we operate within the Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley Greenwich and into Kent. We manage hospital sites including Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup and Memorial Hospital, Woolwich, as well as the Bracton Centre, our medium secure unit for people with mental health needs. We are the largest NHS provider of prison health services providing healthcare to prisons within Devon, Dorset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, Kent and South London. We are proud of the care we provide and our people.

Our purpose is to improve lives by providing the best possible care to our patients and their families. This is strengthened by our new values:
• We’re Kind
• We’re Fair
• We Listen
• We Care
• Fully understand the available evidence base (LeDeR reports, Datix incident reporting, Rio clinical record reports) reflecting the demographics and needs (admissions, deaths, comorbidities etc) of the local BAME population with learning disabilities.
• Engage with all ALD nursing teams and other clinical leads, examining existing training, assessment, intervention and evaluation methods, recommending any adjustments as necessary.
• Ensure resources for training, assessment, intervention, and evaluation effectively reflect and address the needs of local people with learning disabilities from BAME communities.

• Provide an end of year report for the directorate’s Performance and Quality Assurance Meeting (PQAM), with recommendations for ongoing strategies/adjustments to sustainably improve health outcomes for the local BAME population with learning disabilities.
• Contribute to the BFOS priority ‘Physical Health – Addressing Disparity in Life Expectancy’.
• The post holder is expected to be computer literate and proficient in reporting at a senior nursing level; navigating clinical records with sufficient expertise to recommend adjustments in risk assessment, care planning and all relevant clinical documentation.
