Specialist Domiciliary Cervical Screening HCA

Lion Health is seeking an enthusiastic and compassionate Domiciliary Cervical Screening Healthcare Assistant (HCA) to support the delivery of an innovative Domiciliary Cervical Screening Service across the Black Country. The Domiciliary Cervical Screening Service has been established to improve access to life-saving cervical screening for individuals who are unable to attend traditional healthcare settings. The service aims to address health inequalities by providing cervical screening within patients' homes and community settings for those who face significant barriers to accessing routine screening appointments. The service will support patients who are housebound, living with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, severe anxiety, mental health conditions, complex health needs, previous trauma, palliative care needs, or other circumstances that make attendance at a GP practice or clinic difficult. Please note that we are looking for someone to work between 22.5 to 37.5 hours per week. The final working hours will be agreed with the successful candidate., Working alongside Specialist Domiciliary Cervical Screening Nurses, the post holder will play a key role in supporting patients throughout their screening journey, helping to improve screening uptake and contribute to the wider ambition of preventing cervical cancer through early detection and intervention. The role combines patient support, appointment coordination, administration, community outreach, chaperoning responsibilities and operational support. The successful candidate will be instrumental in ensuring patients receive a positive, safe and dignified experience whilst accessing cervical screening services in their own homes. As part of a pioneering service model, the post holder will contribute to reducing health inequalities, supporting underserved populations and improving access to preventative healthcare across Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton. This is a community-based role requiring extensive travel throughout the Black Country and offers the opportunity to be part of an innovative programme that is transforming how cervical screening is delivered to some of the region's most vulnerable patients.
