Care Co-ordinator for Long-Term Conditions (LTC) – Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
The Rural West Primary Care Network (PCN) is looking to recruit a second cardiovascular
disease (CVD) Care Co-ordinator, to work alongside the existing CVD Care Co-ordinator and
as part of our PCN’s wider team to enhance our friendly, busy network of practices.
The Network consists of two GP Partnerships in north Hampshire: Tadley Medical Partnership and Watership Down Health with surgeries in Kingsclere, Overton, Oakley and Tadley.
The main purpose of this role is to support patients across the Rural West PCN with long-term
Conditions (LTC); specifically, those people with cardiovascular disease (CVD), high blood
pressure, heart disease and strokes. The successful candidate will play a key role in proactively identifying and working with these patients, their families and carers to improve their understanding of their condition and support them to manage it.
The post holder will work closely with the GPs, nurses and the wider practice teams, to make
sure that patients with CVD receive the very best care and review. The role involves giving
patients the opportunity for health reviews to manage and improve their long-term health and wellbeing.
This non-clinical role is administrative rather than patient facing, but direct patient contact is a key element, as the role involves organising appointments and other tasks directly with the patients. They will provide support to patients as a regular point of contact for CVD related needs, as well as supporting the clinical teams as they provide patient care. This will include managing blood pressure information coming into our sites.
The postholder will enable people to access the services and support they require to meet
their health and wellbeing needs, helping to improve people’s quality of life. They will work
alongside our Social Prescribing link workers and Health and Wellbeing Coaches to provide
an all-encompassing approach to personalised care and enable people to navigate through
the health and care system. The postholder will also work with a diverse range of people from
different cultural and social backgrounds.
Applicants will need excellent administration, interpersonal and communication skills and be
organised, motivated and empathetic. The ability to work confidently and effectively in a varied and sometimes challenging environment is essential. The postholder will preferably have experience of working in a primary care setting, ideally in health, social care or other support roles. Please see the Job Description and person specification on NHS Jobs for more detail.
The post is full time (37.5 hours per week, Mondays to Fridays), but with flexibility of working hours and is predominantly surgery based. It requires travel across the Network to the surgeries of both Partnerships, so flexibility of working and access to private transport is essential.
