**Closing Date - 12th September**

**Job summary**

Pontefract & Knottingley PCN is looking to recruit an additional Health & Wellbeing Coach to join our existing team.

Our PCN is made up of four GP Practices; Ashgrove Medical Centre, Friarwood Medical Centre, Northgate Medical Centre, and Stuart Road Medical Centre in the east of the district located across Pontefract and Knottingley and serving a population of approximately 49,000 registered patients.

This role will involve working across all four of these practices.

**Main duties of the job**

Health and Wellbeing Coaches are an integral part of the general practice team working in each practice across the PCN. The post holders will work in partnership with their clinical and non-clinical colleagues, management support and the wider PCN to ensure the role delivers the best possible outcomes for our patients. Health and Wellbeing Coaches support people develop their knowledge, skills, and confidence in managing their health and care, to improve their health outcomes and quality of life. Health coaches do this by using coaching techniques and motivating patients through multiple sessions to identify their needs, set goals, and supporting patients to achieve their personalised health and care plan objectives.

Health and Wellbeing Coaches may work with patients over the phone, by video conference, or face-to-face. The role however is varied, and may include supporting self-management education, peer support, caseload management and facilitating group consultations. Identify opportunities and develop and deliver project recommendations for services and actions needed for active lifestyles that contribute to health outcomes, community safety and independent living in the Primary Care Network.

Health and Wellbeing Coaches will have access to ongoing supervision, skills development, and support so they are able to further build their skills and experience within the role.

There may be a need to work remotely depending on the requirements of the role.
