Anticoagulant Support Worker | Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust
2 weeks ago
About the Role An opportunity has arisen for an experienced support worker to join an established team of anticoagulant nurses to provide support with monitoring patients who take Warfarin. You should be able to demonstrate the skills and knowledge of working within a busy multidisciplinary team setting but also have the ability to work autonomously. Key Responsibilities Provide point‑of‑care INR testing for patients in both hospital and community settings. Undertake home visits for house‑bound patients across Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale, plan routes each day, and use established clinical and lone‑working protocols. Travel around the HMR footprint and prioritise your own workload. Convey patients’ blood results to the anticoagulant nurse via telephone and leave written instructions in patients’ homes. Link with community neighbourhood teams and Rapid response teams, and be aware of community care pathways to facilitate home care. Assist the anticoagulant nurse in running hospital and community anticoagulant clinics and undertake delegated tasks. Perform INR blood testing using the Coaguchek device, manage your own equipment, conduct daily quality control and follow standard operating procedures. Plan and prioritise visits to maximise time‑management and fuel economy. Establish and maintain communication with patients, relatives, carers and the multidisciplinary team to provide holistic patient care. Work flexibly between primary and secondary care to facilitate specialist assessments for house‑bound patients taking Warfarin. Demonstrate a high level of autonomy and exhibit caring and compassion in all interactions. Who We Are The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) provides hospital and integrated health and social care services to over one million people across Greater Manchester. With 20,000 colleagues working across Bury, Rochdale, Oldham and Salford, we focus on saving and improving lives. Benefits In return, we can offer you a role with purpose and flexibility, a competitive benefits package, a generous annual leave allowance, flexible working opportunities and protected hours for health and wellbeing activities to help you achieve a better work‑life balance. Additional Information Changes to the UK immigration policy introduced on 9 April 2025 have increased the minimum salary threshold for Health and Care Worker Visa sponsorship from £23,200 to £25,000. For new NHS employees, the starting salary for Band 3 is £24,937 (minimum point) from 1 April 2025, which is below the new sponsorship threshold and therefore not eligible for sponsorship.
