Join to apply for the Clinical Librarian Band 6 role at Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group
An exciting job opportunity has arisen within the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust’s Library and Knowledge Services team. We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated and experienced individual to join our team to work as a Clinical Librarian.
The Library and Knowledge Services team delivers library services and resources to all staff working at United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust, and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. We aim to support and enhance clinical practice and patient care, personal and professional development, education and training, organisational and service development and research.
This role will lead on proactively supporting and engaging with clinical staff working either in a clinical setting on a hospital site, or remotely, to promote the value of embedding evidence-based practice into supporting effective clinical governance, informed decision-making and safe patient care.
Acting as a key point of contact you will facilitate and promote clinical outreach activities, a programme of resource discovery demonstrations and information skills training sessions to raise the visibility of library services or resources, and to help increase user engagement and usage.
You must be able to work flexibly, both independently and as a team player, proposing and implementing projects or ideas that contribute to the development, promotion and delivery of a user focused, high quality NHS Library and Knowledge Service.
This role can be delivered flexibly with a mix of home-based remote working and on site working. The post holder will be required to work cross-site at the main hospital sites (Lincoln County Hospital Grantham and District Hospital and Pilgrim Hospital) and other Trust locations, as well as their primary base. Travel between hospital sites and community sites in Lincolnshire will also be required.
There is also an expectation that some outreach and promotional activities may take place in a clinical or workplace setting, outside of the library.
Lincoln Hospital is a thriving university city and with the opening of the medical school, it provides all major specialties and a 24-hour major accident and emergency service.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust has been granted teaching hospital status, after demonstrating evidence to significant teaching commitment. From now on it will be known as United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
Pilgrim Hospital is situated in beautiful countryside and serves the communities in the South Lincolnshire area. It provides all major specialties and a 24-hour major accident and emergency service.
Grantham and District Hospital serves the communities of Grantham and the local area. It provides ambulatory paediatric and accident and emergency services.
Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) have come together in a Group arrangement, with the goal of improving the care provided to patients across the county.
This will not constitute a formal merger of the two organisations, but will bring the Trusts together under a single Board and Executive Leadership Team, with the goal of improving the care that is provided to patients both in the community and in hospitals across Lincolnshire. Both Trusts will retain their separate statutory names and legal obligations.
The Group will be known as Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group (LCHG).
