An exciting opportunity has arisen to be at the forefront of our continued transformation journey within our Children's Community and Specialist Services here at LTHTR. Our Children's Bladder and Bowel Service provides expert nursing assessment and interventions to prevent and manage incontinence, as well as support children and young people with chronic continence conditions across Greater Preston, Chorley, and South Ribble. The team is based at Broadoaks Child Development Centre, our main Community site for Paediatric Services. This naturally provides great networking opportunities to collaborate with other teams based here. As the Clinical Nurse Lead for the Children’s Bladder and Bowel Service, you will be working within and leading the team, supporting children who require assessment, care planning, and intervention following referral into the service. This is a rare opportunity to lead a nurse-led service where you can make a real difference and have a meaningful impact on how specialised care is delivered closer to home. In having overall responsibility for the provision of excellent care with compassion for children and young people who are known to the service, and their families/carers upon referral, you will ensure that patients and their carers experience a high-quality, patient-centred service. This means ensuring care is accessible, effective, and delivered at a time and place according to clinical need. Within this role, you will plan, deliver, and evaluate community nursing interventions, working in partnership with statutory and voluntary agencies. You will also provide clinical leadership and line management to the Children’s Bladder and Bowel Service. By providing strong leadership and direction, you will enable the team to deliver specialist advice to support the assessment, planning, and implementation of tailored care. This will help children and young people achieve their optimum health, independence, and psychological/social well-being. Clinical skills and experience in working with children who have health-related continence needs are required. This post is expected to be split 80% leadership / 20% clinical in terms of responsibilities. Being based at our Children's Community Setting brings a natural wealth of Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) working and liaison opportunities. Our Community site, Broadoaks, is undergoing its own transformation —fitting with the journey this service has been on. From being a newly commissioned service in 2021 to achieving gold standard accreditation and national recognition for service development, we are excited to see where your leadership might take it next. This team may be small in workforce, but it is big in passion —dedicated to making a real difference to the users of our service. We warmly welcome you to reach out and arrange a visit to meet some of the team and gain your own feel for who we are and what we can offer you.
