Job overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced nurse to join our exciting new programme in Furness – The Integrated Wellness Centre.  We are developing a new multidisciplinary team to provide dedicated support for those patients who are at high-risk of admission to hospital and those who are recurrently being admitted.

The programme aims to be Co-ordinated, Holistic, Intensive, Early and Focussed, bringing together colleagues from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social care, voluntary sector, therapy and community teams.

You will support the leadership of the care coordinators using your knowledge and experience to offer them support and guidance within an MDT setting to enable holistic interventions that are driven by the needs and goals of the citizen.

You will undertake full assessments of health and social needs, identify those at high risk of admission, and intervene early to reduce that risk.

As Case Manager, you will promote good practice and influence service development to improve patient care. The successful applicant will need to develop strong relationships with the teams involved in the MDT and wider system partners and work closely with the Clinical Lead and Team Lead.  This is an opportunity to work within an exciting new model of care in Furness.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for a dynamic and skilled Case Manager to join our Integrated Wellness Centre team. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a supportive environment where your expertise and initiative will drive meaningful patient outcomes.

Our data identified a very small number of patients (<1000) who drove ~30% of our admissions and bed days at Furness General Hospital.  With your input, we want to see the Integrated Wellness Centre address the diverse, unmet needs in these patients and then support them to ‘live well’ in their home environment.

As a Case Manager, you will provide holistic, evidence-based care to individuals at high risk of hospital admission or those frequently admitted. You will manage a complex caseload, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to develop, implement, and evaluate personalised care plans. Key responsibilities include:

  • Supporting admission avoidance and ensuring high-quality patient care through reactive case working.
  • Leading holistic care planning and providing specialist advice to patients and carers.
  • Acting as a role model and mentor to junior staff.
  • Monitoring and improving patient outcomes, including admission and readmission rates.
  • Developing clinical expertise and contributing to service improvement.

Please see job description and person specification for more information.
