CARE COORDINATOR

**Salary**: AFC Band 4 or equivalent

Hours: 37.5

Care coordinators play an important role within the practice to proactively identify and work with certain patient cohorts to support in preparation for clinical conversations and to ensure the patients fully understand and are actively involved in managing their care.

Care coordinators will work closely with GPs and other professionals to manage a caseload of patients, acting as a central point of contact to ensure appropriate support is made available to them and their carers; supporting them to fully understand the services and support available to them and to ensure their needs are met by discussing what matters to them. This is achieved by a personalised support & care plan.

Care coordinators review patient needs and help them access the services and support they require to understand and manage their own health and wellbeing, referring to social prescribing link workers, health and wellbeing coaches, and other professionals where appropriate. The role is intended to become an integral part of the multidisciplinary team. Adopting a holistic approach and listening to the patient’s needs.

Their aim is to help people improve their quality of life.

This job description will be reviewed on a monthly basis. As the role of the care coordinator is new to the practice, the requirements of this role may be developed further over time based on the needs of our patient population.
