Enhanced Health in Care Homes Care Coordinator - Taunton Central Primary Care Network
The Care Coordinator will be part of the Primary Care Network (PCN) which is responsible for managing the care of people registered with practices in the PCN. A key part of the role of a care coordinator is in the Care Homes Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT), improving the continuity of care by acting as a point of contact for residents, families and professionals who visit care homes. This will involve coordinating the work of healthcare professionals and non-clinical staff including volunteers and third sector agencies involved in the care of registered patients.
They will support the MDT with the weekly ward/home rounds through identification of people in need of review, or collation of information on people requiring an MDT review in addition to providing coordination and administrative support to the MDTs within a single or multiple PCNs.
In this patient facing role the post holder will also be responsible for a caseload of patients identified through the MDT meetings. Support provided directly with patients and their carers would include co-producing personalised plans, utilising decision aids, providing information and training opportunities, making appointments, coordination and navigation for people and their carers across health and care services.
The post holder will contribute to tackling inequalities in health and social care particularly regarding individuals with long-term conditions. An ethos of promotion of independence and partnership-working is integral to this post.
