This role is 20 hours per week.
Care coordinators play an important role within a PCN to proactively identify and work with all people, including children & young adults, frail/elderly, and those with long-term conditions, to provide coordination and navigation of care and support across health and care services.
They work closely with GPs and practice teams, acting as a central point of contact to ensure appropriate support is made available to patients and their carers; supporting them to understand and manage their condition and ensuring their changing needs are addressed.
Care coordinators review patients' needs and help them access the services and support they require to understand and manage their own health and wellbeing, referring to social prescribing link workers, health and wellbeing coaches, and other professionals where appropriate.
Care coordinators will work closely with the practice teams across the PCN to assist in coordinating mass vaccination programmes, ensuring appropriate patients are invited, and relevant volunteers are coordinated.
There may be a need to work remotely depending on the requirements of the role. Please note that the role of a care coordinator is not a clinical role.
