Health and Wellbeing Coach Rural Division

**Join us on our journey to empower over a million people to change their behaviours and thrive**

First Coastal Primary Care Network (PCN) RURAL Division is made up of the four practices situated in the East of Lincolnshire consisting of Stickney Medical Practice, Spilsby Surgery, Old Leake Medical Centre and Merton Lodge Surgery in Alford. The PCN serves a population of approximately 37,000 patients.

Like all roles at Thrive Tribe, you can expect your time at work to be fun, varied and challenging. We don’t like to stick to a firm JD as we know from experience that things change throughout the lifetime of a role and it gives our people the chance to play to their strengths.

A typical day as an Health and Wellbeing Coach might include:

- Using good communication, negotiation and people management skills with compassion and integrity.
- Working with a diverse range of people from different cultural and social backgrounds.
- Using coaching approaches, frameworks and models or other helping strategies, for example motivational interviewing, confidently and effectively in a varied and sometimes challenging environment.
- You will be working within the Primary Care Network to provide health coaching for the most vulnerable people in the community, including the frail / elderly and as well as patients living with long term health conditions (LTHC) or being identified as at risk of developing a LTHC, through current health and lifestyle behaviours.
- You will work closely with GP and practice teams to manage a caseload, ensuring appropriate support is available to people, families and carers.
- You will work alongside social prescribing link workers and care coordinators to provide an all-encompassing approach to personalised care and enable people to work out how best to use the health and care system.
