Do you have experience of working in either a health or social care setting? Do you have tenacity, drive, great communication skills and desire to influence change? Can you engage people at all levels and look to create win-win outcomes that create positive results?

This is an exciting opportunity for the right person to make your mark shaping a new role to meet the needs of the Care Home residents, Care Homes and commissioners and deliver positive change.

This role will facilitate effective, appropriate and timely therapy support to care homes and their residents providing education and clinical support in the community, avoiding attendance to the acute trust where possible. You will work as part of a care home project team including nurses and therapy to collectively support groups of care homes while also working with the local Integrated Neighbourhood Team to ensure joined up seamless care .

  • Demonstrate experience of working within a multi-disciplinary settings

  • Maintain open communication with social care providers, primary care and commissioning to make recommendations for improvements to support effective outcomes for adults
  • Develop and gather information to demonstrate effectiveness of the Care Home project. This will include the production of regular monitoring reports.

This is a unique opportunity and anyone who has worked in the Care Home sector will immediately recognise the benefits of introducing this new role. You need to be credible and your ability to work with Care Homes to ensure effective and quality outcomes for residents is critical.

There will be challenging situations at times, so your ability to positively influence and create win-win outcomes for patients, relatives, carers, and staff is really important, but for the right individual, this is a great opportunity to make a difference.
