Permanent contract | £26,421 to £28,770 per annum (Scale F) | 37 hours per week | Reed House, Norwich
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Central Norfolk HomeFirst Hub Integrated Care Coordinator team for a full time Integrated Care Coordinator (ICC) on a permanent contract. Working on a rolling 4-week working pattern, this post will include weekend working.
Norfolk has a long-standing commitment to ICC roles, seeing them as essential to the development of integrated teams and ways of working. This role will see you working for the Central Norfolk HomeFirst Hub which covers Norwich as well as North and South Norfolk.
The HomeFirst Hub is an integrated team working closely with Norfolk Community Health & Care (NCH&C), NHS Acute colleagues, Voluntary sector and other Norfolk County Council colleagues supporting individuals on the Discharge to Assess pathway home and those experiencing complex admission avoidance situations within the Network of Escalation Avoidance Team (NEAT). You will plan and coordinate discharges from community and acute hospital settings to allow individuals to return home, access reablement opportunities and support them by applying a holistic approach to making onward referrals. The model also includes supporting people in crisis already in their usual place of residence and preventing unnecessary admissions to hospitals or other settings such as care homes.
You will work alongside many different professionals and services such as Nurses, Therapists, Care providers and Social Workers, fostering and promoting multi-agency working. You will be positive, flexible and open to change which is sometimes fast paced. You will link closely with all other ICC’s within the team and support the wider team demands where needed.
You will monitor the patient journey by completing desktop analysis of patient records and by making telephone contact with people we have supported. You will support colleagues to manage situations using data, system knowledge and onward referral pathways. You will work with multiple systems such as LAS, SystmOne, Optica and NCAN and will make onward referrals to external and voluntary organisations.
You will be a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate and will have a high level of education (eg NVQ level 3, GCSE Levels or equivalent) and previous experience of working in the voluntary sector, primary care, the NHS, Social Care or a multi-disciplinary team.
A positive can-do attitude is essential alongside professional curiosity around information exchange and community resources. You will have an awareness and understanding of relevant health and social care legislation, excellent interpersonal and organisational skills along with a high level of administrative and IT skills. You will be competent at working at pace in a responsive fast paced environment.
The HomeFirst Hub operates a blended model of office base and virtual working, currently from a range of bases including the Norwich Community hospital and Broadland Business Park.
We offer a friendly, supportive team, regular supervision, and the opportunity to develop your skills and co-produce the role in line with the NHS Long Term plan.
