Job Overview
Care co-ordinators provide extra time, capacity, and expertise to enable patients with enhanced needs to access the services and support they require to improve their health and wellbeing, helping to improve their quality of life and reducing health care inequalities.
They ensure these patients, and their carers have access to good quality information to help them make informed choices about their care.
They proactively identify and liaise with an identified cohort of patients to support their personalised care requirements, making sure that the appropriate support is made available to them and their carers, and ensuring that their changing needs are addressed.
The Care co-ordinators work with groups of patients identified by local priorities, health inequalities or using population health management risk stratification. At present the current focus is on patients with learning disabilities (LD), adults with severe mental illness (SMI) and adults looking to engage with weight loss services, but other groups will also form part of the post holders work plan.
