Job description

The post is for a Health and Well-Being Coach and will be a part of the extended team for the GP Practices in Hatfield. The Hatfield practices have come together to form a Primary Care Network (PCN) and are a friendly and supportive group - we are excited to recruit for this role which will support all 4 practices. We already have a Health and Well-being Coach working with the teams and we have a strong personalised care team supporting our Hatfield patients which you will be a part of.

As a coach you will act within your professional boundaries to support people with lower levels of patient activation to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their health and wellbeing.

The role will be to increase patient ability to access and utilise community support whilst providing access to self-management education, peer support and social prescribing.

Health and wellbeing coaches take an approach that considers the ‘whole person’ in addressing existing issues and encourages proactive prevention of new illnesses.

The approach will be to appreciate patients’ circumstances in a non-judgemental manner. This will result in the need for positive communication and negotiation skills that will support the patient personal choices.

· Providing interventions such as self-management, education and peer support

· Supporting people to establish and attain goals set by the person based on what is important to them, building on goals that are important to the individual

· Working with the social prescribing service to connect them to community-based activities which support their health and well-being

e. To be aware of limitations and, as required, be responsible for the referral of patients who require the intervention of other healthcare professionals

f. To work with patients and to understand their level of knowledge, skills and confidence when engaging with their health and well-being

h. To identify risk factors and categorise patients into appropriate risk banding

i. To be responsible for the day-to-day planning of personal workloads

j. To follow practice policies procedures and guidelines and undertake all mandatory training and induction programmes
