Job summary

The primary goal of the Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) Programme is to facilitate the early detection of lung cancer, saving lives. The National Screening Committee has reviewed evidence from pilot sites and approved the programme for national implementation from 2028/29.

The Lung Cancer Screening Patient Contact Assessor (PCA) plays a crucial role in delivering the programme to eligible individuals. This programme is open to individuals aged 55-74 with a history of smoking, who are registered with a participating GP practice. Through telephone screening, PCAs assess patient risk using an accredited risk score tool. Those identified as high-risk may be referred for a Low Dose CT scan to enable early cancer detection, improving treatment outcomes.

As a PCA, you will be responsible for reaching out to patients, conducting telephone assessments, and supporting high-risk cases through appropriate referrals. You will also be trained to provide Very Brief Advice (VBT) to smokers, encouraging them to quit, and assist with appointment scheduling for scans at local mobile clinics.

This is a dynamic role where you will work as part of a team, under the supervision of the Performance and Pathway Manager and Team Leader with a focus on patient care, service delivery, and promoting lung health.

Please be advised that sponsorship is not eligible for this post.

A full UK driving license is essential for this post. Please note that an international driving license is not accepted.

Main duties of the job

• Conduct proactive telephone screening to assess lung cancer risk, following national protocols.
• Book appointments for eligible patients at local mobile scanning clinics.

Job description

Job responsibilities

• To demonstrate communication and motivational skills to facilitate patients to manage their health. The post holder will need to carry out the assessment, planning and delivery of interventions to a defined case load of patients. There may be complex and difficult issues to overcome to provide safe and effective care e.g. disengagement and refusal of service or high levels of risk to self and others supported by a senior clinician when appropriate.
• To communicate accurate and sensitive information to patients and carers using an appropriate and accessible medium, taking into consideration relevant factors such as background, culture, gender, age and any physical, sensory or learning difficulties. This communication may be complex or sensitive and needs to be modified as required to ensure effective understanding.
• To respect the dignity and preferences of patients and obtain consent to nursing intervention, in some circumstances you would be working in the patients best interests where consent cannot be gained due to capacity.
• Provide support and education to patients and carers and other relevant individuals considering patient confidentiality.
• Provide support and education to members of the multiprofessional team.
• To liaise with other team members, local services, and agencies to ensure the seamless transfer of patients within the pathway
• The post holder will be required to manage and prioritise their own time to ensure this efficiently meets the needs of the service, and when required to prioritise the work of other staff. This is all within a context of competing demands and fluctuating needs and risks.
• Ensure that discharge planning is commenced as soon after admission onto the nursing case load as is practicable and that patients/carers/family are empowered to make informed decisions affecting their future.

The group is currently trialling a new Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT) model following a collaborative event with internal and external stakeholders. This pilot aims to explore team structures and assess the impact on patient experience. While no formal redesign has taken place yet, the outcomes of this trial may inform future service delivery and team configuration across the group.

If you are successful in your application, please be aware that your team structure and line management may be subject to change in the future as part of this evolving model. However, any formal changes will be preceded by appropriate consultation in line with organisational policy.
