Main duties of the job

Actively engage stakeholders from all relevant sectors (including primary, community, acute, hospice, care homes, mental health trusts, ambulance, and out-of-hours services) to drive adoption and consistent use of MCCR and addressing any barriers.
Provide comprehensive education and training in MCCR use and to ensure staff are confident and competent. Offer ongoing support, facilitation, and resources to encourage meaningful use and avoid superficial engagement.
Establish reliable feedback mechanisms and use regular reporting to monitor MCCR uptake, quality of data, and impact on outcomes. Use data to identify areas for improvement, support quality improvement initiatives, and demonstrate value.

About us
Here at St Helena, we believe that everyone living with an incurable illness has the right to live and die with choice, compassion and dignity. Families deserve to be cared for and anyone coping with loss should be supported through their grief.
Our vision is to create a community where everyone knows that as the end of their story draws near, they will be cared for and die where they choose to be; where loved ones have the opportunity to make the most of life together, surrounded by people who care and support one another.
Since we opened in 1985, this belief drives us to provide the best end of life care and bereavement support to everyone in north east Essex, not just today but for years to come.
