Job summary

Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) has been

selected to take part in one of four national Fit Note Reform Pilots

commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions, helping to test a new

approach that aims to improve support for people whose health affects their

ability to work. The pilot is designed to address a recognised challenge within

the current system, where fit notes often focus on certifying sickness absence

rather than providing practical support to help people remain in work or return

to work safely.

MBPCC is delivering one of these pilots, taking fit note generation out

of practices within the Barrow and Mid Furness PCN areas. Patients will be

referred directly from general practice into a new service called Enable where

they will be offered a personalised Workability Plan setting out what they can

do, the adjustments that would help, and the support available to them to aid

them return to work.

The Occupational Health Nurse is one of the senior clinical assessment

resource within the Enable team. The post holder will undertake work and health

assessments for patients referred into the pilot, form an occupational health

judgement about functional capacity and fitness for work, and produce

Workability Plans that are clinically defensible, practical for employers and

genuinely useful to the patient.

This is a test-and-learn service. The post holder is expected not only

to deliver assessments, but to help shape the clinical model itself

Main duties of the job

Clinical assessment and workability planning

Undertake structured work and health assessments with

patients referred into the pilot, face to face, by telephone or by video,

according to patient need and clinical appropriateness.

Assess the interaction between a persons health

condition, their functional ability and the demands of their role, taking

account of all appropriate physical, psychological, social and workplace

factors.

Formulate and co-produce personalised Workability

Plans focused on functional capability, phased return, adjustments and the

practical support required to sustain work.

Exercise autonomous professional judgement in

determining whether a period away from work is clinically appropriate, and

articulate that judgement clearly, proportionately and defensibly.

Provide specialist advice on reasonable adjustments,

graduated return to work, workplace modification and phased hours, informed by

an understanding of the Equality Act 2010 and relevant health and safety

legislation.

Review and update Workability Plans at agreed

intervals, adjusting recommendations as recovery,

circumstances or employer response change.

Recognise the limits of the pilot service and of

personal professional competence and escalate promptly and appropriately
