4. Monitor CHC activity using appropriate systems.
5. Represent Lincolnshire Adult Care on panels, support dispute resolution, and maintain effective relationships with NHS partners.
About You
We are looking for someone who is ambitious, diligent, and committed to delivering exceptional services to the communities of Lincolnshire. You will bring:
1. Extensive post-qualification experience in NHS Continuing Healthcare.
2. A strong understanding of adult care legislation and practice.
3. The ability to support staff in fulfilling duties under the Section 75 agreement.
4. Insight into the financial implications of CHC for individuals and adult care.
5. A quality-focused approach to achieving positive outcomes for individuals and the council.
6. Confidence in decision-making, using sound judgment and experience.
7. Proven ability to support staff in managing complex, high-risk cases.
8. A commitment to ensuring adult care perspectives are considered in joint decision-making and processes.
Our technology platform and equipment are very good, enabling you to connect and collaborate remotely. We require that you have good connectivity, and we will discuss during the recruitment process if support with this is needed.
