The Rural West Primary Care Network (PCN) is seeking to recruit a second Diabetes Care
Co-ordinator for Long Term Conditions (LTC), to work alongside the existing Diabetes Care
Co-ordinator within our PCN’s multidisciplinary healthcare team and enhance our friendly busy
network of practices. The Network consists of two GP Partnerships: Tadley Medical
Partnership and Watership Down Health with surgeries in Kingsclere, Overton, Oakley and
Tadley, North Hampshire.
The main purpose of this role is to provide administrative support for patients across the Rural
West PCN with long-term Conditions (LTC); specifically, those people with pre-Diabetes or
Diabetes. This is a non-clinical role, but the successful candidate will play a key role in
proactively identifying and working with this cohort of patients, their families and carers to
improve the ongoing management of their condition.
The postholder will work very closely with the Clinical Leads, GPs and practice teams, making
sure that patients with diabetes receive the very best care and review. It will involve ensuring
patients have the opportunity for diabetes review which will enable better treatment of their
diabetes. This will have a direct impact on improving long term health and wellbeing for these
patients. It will directly lead to a reduction in diabetes complications such as heart attacks,
strokes and amputations. This role is administrative rather than clinical, but direct patient
contact will be a key element of the role.
The Diabetes Care Co-ordinator will enable people to access the services and support they
require to meet their health and wellbeing needs, helping to improve people’s quality of life
and reduce the complications of diabetes. The postholder will work as an integral part of the
PCN’s multidisciplinary team (MDTs), working alongside the Diabetes teams, Social
Prescribers and the Health and Wellbeing Coaches to provide an all-encompassing approach
to personalised care and enable people to navigate through the health and care system. The
postholder will work with a diverse range of people from different cultural and social
backgrounds. The ability to work confidently and effectively in a varied and sometimes
challenging environment is essential.
Applicants will need excellent administration, interpersonal and communication skills and be
organised, energetic, patient and empathetic. The postholder will preferably have experience
of working in a primary care setting, ideally in health, social care or other support roles
including direct contact with people with pre-Diabetes/Diabetes, their families and carers in a
related role. Please see the Job Description and person specification on NHS Jobs for more
detail.
The post is full time (37.5 hours per week), Mondays to Fridays and is predominantly surgery
based. It requires travel across the Network to the surgeries of both Partnerships, so flexibility
of working and access to private transport is essential.
