Please see the detailed job description and person specification for further details on the duties and responsibilities of the role.  

Duties may vary from team to team but may include the following: 

Work within the NHS All Age Continuing Care team with responsibility for co-ordination and delivery of needs/eligibility assessment, case management and review of patients under the relevant frameworks for NHS Continuing Healthcare, Funded Nursing Care, Fast Track, Children’s Complex Care and All Age Continuing Care.

Use specialist knowledge and clinical skills to ensure that cases and outcomes are managed in a consistent, equitable, safe and cost effective, ensuring appropriate and proportionate application and interpretation of the relevant frameworks and guidance.

Work closely with hospitals, community services and care providers to develop systems and processes to facilitate a smooth assessment and referral process under the supervision of case co-ordinators.

Regularly review, under the supervision of Senior Clinical Assessors, the clinical needs of the patient with regard to appropriateness of the placement, level of care being provided and entitlement to NHS Funded care.

Use good verbal and written communication skills to communicate with patients, their families and other professionals. The production of accurate, detailed and comprehensive reports is essential.

Support the duty coordinator function as required and undertake other duties at the request of the line manager, which are commensurate with the role including project work, internal job rotation and absence cover.

The job description and person specification are 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 their line manager.

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

This role will include weekend working when required.

Please note the following before applying:

1. We reserve the right to amend the closing date based on the volume of applications received. Vacancies attracting a high volume of applications may therefore close earlier than advertised.

2. In compliance with Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016, all applicants must be able to communicate fluently in English to an appropriate standard which will be assessed as part of the selection process.

3. As a Disability Confident Employer we are working to create a workplace that enables all staff to reach their full potential. As an ICB, we value diversity and are committed to the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority groups. We welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates and candidates with disabilities.

4. If you are successful and are joining from a non-NHS background, there will be an expectation that you will be engaged from the bottom of the pay band. If you would like to review the Agenda for Change pay scales in more detail and to view other benefits of working in the NHS, please visit the Agenda for Change website for further details.

5. New employees to the ICB will be subject to a probationary period of six months (some exemptions apply, please refer to the ICBs policy for full details).

We encourage and support our staff to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 as this remains the best way to protect ourselves, our families, our colleagues, and patients from the virus.
