Job Introduction
Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) are seeking to recruit enthusiastic, innovative and forward thinking, Registered Nurses or Midwives. Essentially, we want those with initiative and drive who can show resilience in a constantly changing arena. Lincolnshire County Council commit to support individuals engaged in Health visitor training through funding associated training and development. During this period, alongside the funding provided by NHS England (NHSE), we agree to pay the appropriate current rate of the Student Health Visitor role which will also attract any cost-of-living awards which may be agreed nationally during this period. The salary paid is inclusive of the funding provided by NHSE and an additional element funding by the Council.
On successful completion of the Health Visitor qualification, individuals will be placed in a role within one of our Children’s Health teams and will be required to remain in employment in a Children’s Services Health Visitor role for a minimum period of 12 month’s post qualifying. If an individual were to leave prior to the end of this period, they may be required to repay the element of pay funded by the Council. This equates to approximately £7,900. With regards to team allocation of role, wherever possible this will be the same team where training was conducted, but there are circumstances where this could be a different team. This will be indicated in any conditional and formal offers made.
We are seeking to train people who are committed to improving outcomes for children and families, who are not averse to change and thrive upon innovative practices.
The training will develop you to work towards being an autonomous Health Visitor within an integrated skill mix team. You need to have excellent communication skills and preferably have community experience.
