End of Life and Bereavement Practitioner

2 weeks ago

Blackburn, United Kingdom East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

The post holder will have clinical responsibilities within the bereavement service and provide specialist knowledge and care.

They will work with all Trust staff to empower and do all they can to achieve what we would want for our own families, for everyone, and to develop a culture that end of life care and bereavement is everyone’s business.

The service model of bereavement support will be provided in line with NICE Guidance:
Component 1 - Grief is normal after bereavement and most people manage without professional intervention

Component 2 - Some people may require a more formal opportunity to review and reflect on their loss experience, but this does not necessarily have to involve professionals

Component 3 - A minority of people will require specialist interventions

The post holder will provide immediate and on-going emotional support for patients in the last days of life and their families.

They will support families who are bereaved due to expected and unexpected/sudden deaths.

They will ensure onward referral for people with more complex grief.

Support all areas to implement the end of life and bereavement model of care for every person every time.

Ensure that the end of life tools are used as an aid/guidance by staff by ensuring they have a good knowledge and understanding of them.

Provide high quality end of life care to patients and their loved ones as required, either through service need or “role modelling” of good practice

Act as a role model, be respectful and have an ability to challenge staff/senior staff where there is a risk that decision making, for patients at the end of their lives, is being compromised, is unsafe or not in a patient’s best interests.

At East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust our vision is to be widely recognised for providing safe, personal and effective care. We currently provide high quality services and treat over 600,000 people across East Lancashire and the surrounding area. We employ over 8,000 staff, many of whom are internationally renowned and have won awards for their work.
