- Salary: £20,528 pa pro rata
- Fixed term contract until 31st March 2017
Age UK Solihull has been awarded the contract to deliver the exciting new Care Navigation Service. The service is currently a pilot, funded until 31st March 2017.
Care Navigators will support those aged 65+ and their carers to access timely care and community support services. Close work with GPs, practice staff and other health and social care professionals is required as is accurate record keeping and the use of IT systems. Through timely intervention and care coordination, the service will improve older peoples’ well-being.
Candidates will ideally come from a health, social care or advice background but aptitude is more important than qualifications. With agreement from your current employer we are happy to discuss secondments into the Care Navigator posts if you are employed by Solihull Council, the NHS, or a local voluntary and community sector organisation.
The Care Navigator posts are based at GP surgeries across Solihull and travel around the borough is required, including home visits and some escorting of patients.
