As the largest example of an integrated health and social care workforce under one organisation, we offer a full range of NHS community and local authority adult social care roles. These include district and community nurses, social workers, health visitors, reablement staff, therapists, care staff, support staff and many other health and care professionals.
Within the LCO, all of our teams work together as part of one single organisation so that care is better coordinated to suit people’s needs. This includes the development of a range of new ways of integrated working in the community. Ours is a truly integrated system designed to benefit both service users and staff.

Current campaigns
Hospital at Home
Do you want to be part of innovative system-wide changes currently taking place to deliver first-class acute care in a patient’s home? If so the new Hospital at Home service (H@H) could offer an exciting opportunity for you.
Hospital at Home provides the care and treatment patients expect in a hospital, in the place they call home. It brings together health professionals as a team and combines the latest health monitoring technology with the specialist knowledge and treatment of staff. Through this new way of working, patients will be able to access and receive the same level of care as if they were on a hospital ward. We call it ‘the care of hospital, the comfort of home’.
