Job description

We are currently recruiting for a Senior Navigator for the Hospital and Community Navigators. The role is permanent (subject to future funding). The role is full-time.

About you

Are you a people person? Can you lead a team? Can you earn people’s trust? Are you fully committed to person-centred services? Will you always “go the extra mile” to make sure people find the best possible solution to their needs?

Our purpose

Within a hospital setting, we work with clinical staff to ensure that people can leave hospital at the right time and with the support and care they need.

Within a community and primary care setting, we use social prescribing to help people reduce unnecessary NHS appointments and find appropriate community and non-clinical solutions to their needs. Our mission is to help health and adult care services to work together to reduce unnecessary demands and make sure people receive the best possible services appropriate to their needs.

The role

The Senior Navigator will be responsible for Co-ordinating referrals from the Watford and Three Rivers Area, working as part of the wider Team in  Herts valleys.  The Senior Navigator will support the team to work with people who are frail or vulnerable or unwell, people who are in danger of losing their independence, people who are being admitted to hospital, and people who are being discharged from hospital.

Navigators take time to understand people’s needs, they understand what services are available, and they work with professionals, volunteers, families, and individuals so things link together as they should. 

Working across both hospital and community settings, you will help prevent the need for people to be admitted to hospital, reduce over-reliance on GPs and/or home care providers, reduce social isolation and improve health and wellbeing.

You will work to understand your local community, link people together, and help develop more effective services. When solutions are needed, you will find them.

The job

You will be employed by Watford and Three Rivers Trust

You will work as part of a locality team. You will need to operate independently, use our case management database and communications systems, understand privacy rules and safeguarding, and work as part of a locality team supported by regular supervision, training and case conferences.

Please apply online stating how you meet the requirements for this post. If you are currently based outside Hertfordshire, please explain how you will relocated or commute if appointed.

Together Co is Brighton and Hove’s leading loneliness charity, working to create connections that change lives for the better across the city. We run Befriending and Social Prescribing services supporting more than a 1500 people a year and have 400+ volunteers working alongside our small paid staff team. In a city of 300,000 people no one should be lonely or socially isolated. Together, we can make sure no one is.  

A person centred, collaborative and compassionate approach is at the heart of what we do and we are looking for someone with the right skills and attitudes to take our befriending operations through the next phase of development, building on more than 20 years of successful delivery.

This is a rare opportunity to join the management team of an organisation that is moving from strength to strength. A recent rebrand has not only given us a fresh new look, but has also helped us rationalise our aims, align our services and further exemplify our values. Reporting to the Deputy Chief Officer, you will lead the strategic planning, development and operational delivery of Together Co Social Prescribing, bringing a bold, innovative and evidence-based approach to future-proofing the service, growing its scope and reach, whilst upholding high standards of quality and accountability. Social Prescribing is a fast-moving and evolving field of practice, and the post will suit candidates who thrive on change, out-of-the box thinking and who are able to apply a solution-focused approach.

You will have:

• at least three years experience of managing projects and contracts to deliver services, on time and within budget, to meet the needs of service users;
• experience of working collaboratively with partners in both public, third and private sector, and involving users, service providers, volunteers and staff in evaluation and service development;
• experience of tendering for commissions and contracts, preferably in a health and social care context; and demonstrable commitment to challenging racism, inequality and unfairness.

We want our organisation to reflect the diversity of the population we serve and we welcome applications from people from all backgrounds, especially, including people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.

In a city of 300,000 people no one should be lonely or socially isolated. Together, we can make sure no one is.

A person centred, collaborative and compassionate approach is at the heart of what we do and we are looking for someone with the right skills and attitude to support clients and manage volunteers in both in GP surgeries and in people’s own homes, whilst also working as part of a citywide team of Link Workers based in our central Brighton office.

Reporting to the Operational Lead for social prescribing, you will provide a front line social prescribing service, assessing a person’s need and helping them access appropriate groups and services. An experienced support worker, you will have an ability to build instant rapport with clients alongside a pragmatic and proactive attitude that enables people to achieve the goals that matter to them. You will also have the ability to build relationships with referrers in the voluntary and statutory sectors and clinicians in primary care.

This is a crucial time for social prescribing, which is now high on the government agenda. As well as some of the more forward thinking CCGs investing in services like ours, NHS England have further invested in funding a Link Worker in every Primary Care Network (PCN) across the country.

Our aim is to continue operating citywide, whilst also hosting PCN Link Workers to ensure they have access to the same quality training, support and expertise that we have become known for.

This is a rare opportunity to join the social prescribing team of an organisation that is moving from strength to strength. A recent rebrand has not only given us a fresh new look, but has also helped us rationalise our aims, align our services and further exemplify our values.

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds.

Help build a bridge!

When a child struggles with their mental health, their parents can seek help from their GP but there is often a wait for further specialist services. You can help bridge that gap.

Your time and expertise will support the child and family to understand conversations with primary health professionals, enabling them to make informed choices about their own health and wellbeing through the development of a personalised plan of care. You should be able to quickly connect and build trust with children, young people and families.

This Care Coordinator role is a great opening into Social Prescribing, a growing field in health and social care. We are looking for an organised, self-motivated and confident individual to join our established team.

If successful there is potential for the posts continuation beyond initial term.

Children’s mental health matters!
 
More and more children and young people are experiencing difficulties with their own mental health. There is no single solution and we all need to work together to ensure young people can access the help they need and lead healthier and happier lives.

Working alongside GP practices, Social Prescribing Link Coordinators help children and families connect with health and community services which will make a real difference to the child’s emotional and physical wellbeing.

You will deliver personalised support to patients, independently managing new referrals from GP practices and a caseload. It’s essential that you have an understanding of how to prioritise need, and are able to recognise when to refer on to specialist services, and must be confident to communicate at all levels across health and social care sectors.

My Care My Way

My Care My Way (MCMW) is an innovative way of working with people over the age of 65 with complex needs and conditions. The person is at the centre of holistic care planning across organisations such as health, social care and the voluntary sector. This way of working is a more coordinated, consistent way of providing care for people over 65 with long term conditions in West London and requires people with commitment and passion to work with older people. My Care My Way has been created following intensive work with professionals, patients and the voluntary sector to create a model of care rooted in evidence and designed to meet local needs.

Patients are at the heart of the model, and are working in partnership with professionals, supported by a dedicated integrated care team. All involved, including the person and their carer, will design care plans together to keep the person well for as long as possible and to achieve outcomes that they identify.

My Care My Way delivers more consistent care for patients at their GP practice, within two multi-functional Integrated Care Hubs in the locality, or within their homes.

Role Summary

The Health and Social Care Assistant (HSCA) role offers an exciting opportunity to become part of the My Care My Way workforce; bringing together health and social care expertise to deliver real change for how care is delivered in West London.

The vision for this role is aspirational, in that it aims to bring together over time duties that are carried out by Health Care Assistants, Social Care Trusted Assessors, Navigators, and other disciplines. The post holder will also be equipped to provide low level mental health support. There is an emphasis on promoting independence and supporting patients to adopt self-care approaches, by linking them in with voluntary sector services based on their long term conditions, interests and preferences.
