We are excited to invite applications for Specialist Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) Nurses to join the Yorkshire & Humber Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Service — a dynamic, innovative, and region‑wide nurse‑led service dedicated to improving the diagnosis and management of adults and children with Familial Hypercholesterolaemia and associated lipid disorders.
About the Service

* Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust

Working closely with clinical leads at each of the four provider sites, our FH nurses deliver expert screening, treatment, and specialist advice to support patients and families living with FH across the region.
The post holder will be employed by York and Scarborough Teaching Hospital with Hull as their base.
The post holder will provide specialist nursing advice and support to patients referred into the Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) pathway within their local provider site.

They will demonstrate autonomy, professional leadership and initiative to drive ongoing service development. Using advanced clinical, educational and management skills, the post holder will ensure a seamless, patient‑centred service across organisational and professional boundaries.
