Neurorehabilitation Case Manager

The closing date is 01 December 2025

Job summary

We are seeking to recruit a Neurorehabilitation Case Manager to work with a range of stakeholders to improve Specialised Rehabilitation services for patients with highly complex needs across the Midlands.

Main duties of the job

The postholder will need to have an excellent understanding of the specialised and core services that currently support this population and have a strategic vision for future requirements. They will be expected to work in partnership with a wide range of patients, carers and stakeholders and will be responsible for reducing delays in the patient journey associated with admission to and discharge from Specialised Rehabilitation Services.

About us

Our work supports the NHS to deliver high quality services for patients and best value for taxpayers.

Our staff bring expertise across hundreds of specialisms -- including clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial -- enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.

We lead the NHS in England by:

  • Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities
  • Making the NHS a great place to work, where our people can make a difference and achieve their potential
  • Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care
  • Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation
  • Delivering value for money

Earlier this year, the Government announced that NHS England will gradually merge with the Department of Health and Social Care, leading to full integration. The aim is to create a smaller, more strategic centre that reduces duplication and eliminates waste.

If successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the recruitment process.
