Background Information
NHS Continuing Healthcare is the name given to a package of health care that some people need to receive as a result of a disability, accident or illness. Individuals who are assessed as eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare will have the full cost of their care and accommodation funded by the NHS.
Beacon operates an ethical business model which places the client at the heart of the process and aims to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients through robust and non-confrontational engagement with CCGs. Our team of advisers and caseworkers have established a strong reputation for their thorough understanding of the eligibility criteria and key principles, combining excellent client engagement with high-quality case representation.

The Project
For the past six years Beacon has been commissioned by NHS England to deliver the first national specialist NHS Continuing Healthcare information and advice service. The service delivers in two specific areas:
- Remote verbal or written advice surgeries: time-limited specialist advice delivered via telephone, Teams and email

The service is open to anybody in England at any stage of the continuing healthcare journey or in the long-term care system. Clients and service-users will be entitled to receive a copy of Beacon’s literature in the format they find most accessible, and up to ninety minutes of remote (verbal or written) advice.
Remote verbal information and advice will be provided on any area within the scope of the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS Funded Nursing Care (2007, 2009, 2012 and 2018 editions), and related guidance, and on the topics covered by the Navigational Toolkit.
The role of the Information Officer will be to deliver accurate tier one information to clients which helps them to understand what NHS continuing healthcare is, how to apply for it and what to do if they want to challenge the outcome of their assessment. You will also be expected to schedule tier two advice sessions with our specialist advice team for individuals who require an-depth consultation.
