Specialist Domiciliary Cervical Screening Nurse

Lion Health is seeking an experienced and motivated Specialist Domiciliary Cervical Screening Nurse to support an innovative Domiciliary Cervical Screening Service designed to improve access to life-saving cervical screening and reduce health inequalities across the Black Country. The Screening Service has been developed in response to the barriers many individuals face when accessing routine cervical screening. It provides appointments within patients' homes and community settings for those unable to attend traditional healthcare environments due to physical disability, frailty, learning disabilities, severe anxiety, mental health conditions, neurodiversity, previous trauma, palliative care needs, caring responsibilities or other complex circumstances that make attending a GP practice challenging. The service supports the NHS ambition to eliminate cervical cancer through early identification of abnormal cervical cells and increased screening uptake amongst populations traditionally underrepresented within screening programmes. By taking cervical screening directly into the community, the service aims to remove barriers to access, improve patient experience, reduce inequalities and ensure vulnerable individuals benefit from preventative healthcare. 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 autonomously and as part of a multidisciplinary team, the post holder will assess, plan, deliver and evaluate cervical screening care whilst maintaining the highest standards of clinical practice, patient safety and professional accountability. The role requires advanced communication skills, excellent clinical judgement and a compassionate, patient-centred approach to care. The post holder will contribute to service development, quality improvement initiatives, audit activity, performance monitoring and evaluation of this pioneering model of care. As one of the first services of its kind within the region, the role offers a unique opportunity to help shape and influence the future delivery of community-based cervical screening services. The successful candidate will play a key role in improving cervical screening uptake across underserved populations whilst supporting the wider objectives of reducing health inequalities, improving health outcomes and delivering personalised care across Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
