Oldham, United Kingdom Focused Care CIC Full time

Job summary

Please Note: This role is a 12 month fixed term contract, based either in the Oldham, Manchester, or Rochdale area.

Focused Care is a model developed in Primary Care which supports vulnerable and complex patients and GP teams in areas of high social deprivation. Taking a whole household, person-centred approach you will have a caseload, based on the practice list of all ages and conditions, with the aim to help unpick problems which hold back a person's health and social wellbeing.

Focused Care is a highly rewarding role. It aims to "make the invisible, visible", advocating for patients where they struggle to engage with the system, and to support GP teams to bring evidenced lasting health changes for households and families. The role allows you to be risk aware but not risk averse and be innovative in crossing boundaries across health and social care to get the best for patients.

Applicants must be compassionate and experienced in supporting people who find themselves in complex situations. You must be able to work autonomously, with an ability to be accountable and work in a team across an MDT.

Main duties of the job

This role involves holding and managing a caseload of patients and families who need additional support and holistic intervention.

Due to the depth of working you will need to have a background in a relevant health or social field, be it a nurse, health visitor, social worker, probation worker, youth worker background. The qualification is less important than demonstrating experience in face-to-face working, desire and ability to work autonomously, safely, and with a huge passion to bring change and social justice.

Applicants should be trustworthy, non-judgemental, be able to problem solve and work with a wide range of people for the good of the patient, with a can-do practical attitude.

You should be able to manage your own diary and caseload and work innovatively for a positive outcome. This role is based out of GP practices, and so you will need to have a clear understanding of patient confidentiality and GDPR, and have a reasonable level of understanding of note and data recording.
