Continuing Healthcare Nurse Assessor

Job overview
An opportunity has arisen within Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board (GMICB), Stockport Locality's Continuing & Complex Healthcare Team, for a Nurse Assessor (RGN/RMN).
Main duties of the job
GMICB, Stockport Locality, is seeking to recruit a highly motivated, enthusiastic and forward-thinking nurse to work as part of a professional team. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate knowledge and skills in person-centred assessments and the ability to work within a multi-agency environment.
The successful applicant will be required to work autonomously and collaboratively within a dynamic skill-mixed team. As a Nurse Assessor, your role will include assessing individuals against the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and Funded Nursing Care, undertaking complex case management and annual reviews.
If you are a self-motivated and collaborative professional who possesses excellent communication skills supporting the philosophy for delivering high-quality services to people, this would be the ideal opportunity for you.
Previous experience within a Continuing Healthcare Team would be an advantage, but training and support are available for the right candidate.
Working for our organisation
The Continuing and Complex Care team offers a friendly and supportive working environment with the benefit of agile and flexible working hours.
NHS GM ICS is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workforce culture - a place where we can all be ourselves and succeed. We support flexible working and will consider applications on a part-time or job share basis. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and communities, particularly from ethnically diverse and disabled applicants who are currently under-represented within our workforce.
We offer a range of family-friendly inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, facilities, and services to support a diverse range of staff.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
Promote GMICB's vision and mission and uphold GMICB’s values in all day-to-day activities and delivery of services; participate in the objective setting process as part of the annual Performance Development Review/appraisal process, to understand how your role and objectives are linked to team, directorate, and corporate objectives, to review what aspects of your role are being done well, and to identify any areas for development.
Provide comprehensive clinical advice, assessment, and case management to NHS Continuing Health Care and NHS Funded Nursing Care functions for GMICB, particularly for people who have complex health care needs, including all categories of needs (e.g., physical, end of life, Mental Health, and Learning Disability needs).
