We will ensure accessible, integrated and responsive care.

Theme 2: people are at the centre of everything we do

We will work with people and health and care partners to build strong and supportive communities.

LCHS is the main provider of community healthcare services to the people of Lincolnshire, with a passion and commitment to deliver outstanding community healthcare to the population of Lincolnshire. We care for thousands of patients every day, in partnership with our other health and social care providers, to deliver joined-up care in community settings. We were rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC in our most recent inspection in 2018.

We are a people business. We employ great people to do great things for other people’s loved ones. We believe that if our people feel valued, engaged, have a voice, are fulfilled and connected to their work, patients will receive fantastic care.

At LCHS, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to providing equal opportunities, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in our workforce.

Our skilled workforce, with a head count of c. 2,300 substantive and bank staff including nurses, allied health professionals, public health professionals, medics, and GPs as well as our growing ‘army’ of volunteers, has around 1 million contacts per year with our patients across a broad range of services in 64 community settings as well as people’s homes. Our people are specialists in prevention, case management, risk management and appropriate discharge.
