Improving Breast Screening Uptake Officer

4 months ago

Macclesfield, United Kingdom East Cheshire NHS Trust Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to step into a newly created role, to improve the uptake rate and reduce health inequalities in the Cheshire and Stockport Breast Screening Programme. The post holder will be the first point of contact for GP practices and community groups, providing comprehensive advice and support.

The successful postholder needs to have excellent communication skills and be able to work autonomously. Being proactive and self-motivated are key attributes. We are looking for a friendly, approachable, confident public speaker who can engage with the public and health professionals, providing awareness training and answering questions. The role would suit someone who is creative and can generate new ideas and organise promotion events to improve uptake.

The role will also look to improve uptake in population groups vulnerable to low participation in screening and support individuals - particularly those who may require reasonable adjustments to reduce unnecessary barriers to access the service.

Flexibility is required with the ability to travel across the locality. There may also be a requirement for some evening/weekend work.

Promote uptake of Breast screening directly to the eligible population at health promotion events/webinars held across the programme geography.

Support eligible individuals to navigate through the screening pathway - particularly those who may require reasonable adjustments to reduce unnecessary barriers to access.

Use screening programme data to identify GP practices with low uptake rates and work directly with colleagues in these practices e.g., care co-ordinators/care navigators to support more individuals to take up the offer of screening.

Identify reasons for non-attendance across the screening programme and discuss with the programme team any changes that may help address these to support improved uptake rates.

Maintain an up to date and accurate recording system of work to evidence the impact of the post of Improving Screening Uptake Worker.

Be a member of the network for Improving Uptake in Screening network to share learning/ideas and best practice across programmes.

Be a member of the Breast screening Programme Managers networking group to share learning/ideas and best practice across programmes.

Be able to travel across Cheshire and Stockport

Be flexible and able to manage own a time, working around group meetings outside of core hours as required
