Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is in the top 25 percent of all community trusts for overall staff engagement in the 2021 NHS National Staff Survey. At LCHS, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in LCHS’ workforce.
LCHS recognizes the increasing demand for more flexibility in working practices to accommodate personal goals and commitments. Flexible working opportunities such as part-time working, compressed hours, job shares, and hybrid working models can help staff balance their personal and work commitments.
