An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Health and Wellbeing Coach to join our exciting new Rehabilitation team

We are looking for a Health & Wellbeing Coach to utilise your health coaching skills to support people on the waiting list for surgery, to become optimised for surgery including stopping smoking, reducing BMI, reducing alcohol consumption, managing long term conditions (diabetes and hypertension) and increasing activation levels. You will develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage patients’ health and wellbeing, and support them to improve their surgical outcomes whilst also supporting them throughout their time on the waiting list. You may also provide access to self-management education, peer support, and social prescribing.

Health and wellbeing coaches take an approach that considers the whole person in addressing existing issues and encourages proactive prevention of new and existing illnesses. They use an approach that is non-judgemental, based on strong communication and negotiation skills, which supports personal choice and positive risk taking, addresses potential consequences and ensures patients understand the accountability of their own decisions, making the patient at the centre of every conversation.

Coach will provide personalised support to individuals, their families and carers to ensure that they are active participants in their own healthcare; empowering them to take more control in managing their own health and wellbeing, to live independently and improve their health outcomes through:
1) Supporting people to establish and attain goals set by the person based on what is important to them.

2) Working with the PCNs teams to connect them to community-based activities.

3) Working with pre-operative team to deliver specific health advice, where appropriate.

4) Inputting data including appropriate disease and referral coding.

5) Providing support to local community groups and working with other health, social care and voluntary sector providers to support the patients.

6) Support to improve skills and understanding of personalised care, behavioural approaches.

7) Undertaking all the necessary training and induction for the role.

8) Provide waiting well support to patients whilst they’re on the waiting list acting as a key point of contact and have appropriate check to ensure the patient supported to achieve their goals.

The above is only an outline of the tasks, responsibilities and outcomes required of the role. The job holder will carry out any other duties as may reasonably be required by the organisation.

The job description and person specification may be reviewed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the changing needs of BHT.
