About Healthcare Services
Healthcare Services is the culmination of our hugely successful and highly acclaimed Hospital To Home and Home Comfort Services, who have been working in partnership with healthcare providers in Leeds for over a decade.
The service prides itself on its patient-centred and strength-based approach and supports those over 50, who have suffered a period of illness that has affected their independence. In particular, it supports those who have recently experienced a period of hospital/acute care or who have been supported by the clinical teams in the community. Whilst not exclusively the case, the older people receiving support are predominantly those assessed as living with frailty in the community and for whom maintaining independence is an essential factor in reducing risk of further unplanned hospitalisation, addressing social isolation, anxiety and the potential of experiencing more complex health and social care needs.
About the role
Service Coordinators are responsible for coordinating a service that responds to changing demands and meets the needs of older people that are supported by the Age UK Leeds Healthcare Services team.
Working with a range of partners (statutory and third sector) the post holder will assist the Operations Manager with ensuring that designated service areas are integrated within the health and social care system and structure within Leeds, enabling safe and effective:
-
Referral and assessment processes that ensure services are accessible and meet the needs of the diverse communities in Leeds.
-
Person-centred/Strength-based interventions with older people assessed as living with frailty and emerging complex health and social needs.
-
Communication, engagement and joint working with partners (both the statutory and voluntary sector) and stakeholders.
The post-holder is also required to participate in activities that promote the interests of older people in Leeds.
About you
You must have excellent communication and organisational skills and the ability to assess and respond to the needs of older people. Problem solving and using your initiative to support others who are lone working in the community, you must also be able to work in partnership with other appropriate agencies/providers and health professionals.
This is a hugely rewarding role coordinating a team of staff who are involved in many different aspects of emotional and practical support delivered to a wide range of patients. If you are passionate about making a difference and have empathy towards others then we would love to hear from you.
