Main duties of the job

We are looking for a dynamic clinician or individual with a clinical background to play a critical role as a clinical case coordinator within our friendly and supportive team. Your background might be as a nurse, allied health professional, physicians associate or mental health practitioner, in primary care, community services, acute care or mental health.You will be familiar with working with people who have long-term conditions.

People with LTCs account for around half of GP appointments, two thirds of outpatient appointments and 70% of hospital bed days. Within NCL we anticipate that the population of people living with one or more respiratory or metabolic disease will increase by 8%, around 24,000 people, by 2030.

People with LTCs value careful coordination, shared decision making, prioritization and a longer-term perspective. But, too often, what they find is that services are still characterized by siloed ways of working, a focus on acuity and a lack of forward planning.
