Highly Specialist Lymphoedema Practitioner

We have an exciting opportunity for a qualified healthcare professional (nursing or AHP/HCPC registered) to join for our newly commissioned Lymphoedema service in Greenwich. We have been working closely with commissioners, primary care, and local stakeholders to commission the Greenwich Lymphoedema team. The proposal was developed to ensure parity with services available in all other South East London boroughs where currently Greenwich is the only borough without a lymphoedema service.

The post holder will be based in Plumstead Health Centre and will be expected to travel within the boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley.

The role will require a combination of working within the team base, in patients own homes, clinic settings across the Borough of Greenwich. There will be a requirement to participate in local networks including: The Pan-London Lymphoedema Community of Practice and The South East London Cancer Alliance Lymphoedema Expert Reference Group.

This is an exciting time for a dynamic specialist practitioner to join us to support our service users to have greater choice and control. Our vision is for Greenwich residents to receive the highest quality of care in the safest environment and wherever possible this will be their home.

You will need to be a versatile, adaptable team player who has good organisational skills. You will be required to use multiple computer systems therefore a good knowledge of IT is essential.
