Summary
**Please note, a full job description is attached to this advert** Purpose of the Role Health and wellbeing coaches support people to take proactive steps to improve the way they manage their physical and mental health conditions, based on what matters to them. They support people to develop their knowledge, skills, confidence in managing their health and care, to improve their health outcomes and quality of life and support them making changes in health-related behaviours. Health coaches do this by coaching and motivating people through multiple sessions to identify their needs and to set goals for themselves, and through providing access to interventions such as self-management education and peer support. Health and wellbeing coaches manage and prioritise a caseload, according to the needs, priorities and support required by individuals in the caseload. They identify when a persons needs are beyond the scope of the health and wellbeing coach role and refer them back to other health professionals or organisations. Health and wellbeing coaches may work with people by phone, by video conference, or face-to-face on a one-to-one basis and in groups. The successful candidate will be compassionate, reflective and self-aware and will enjoy working with a wide range of people. They will have good communication and negotiation skills and a firm belief that people have untapped resources within them, that can be developed by providing high quality, non-judgemental support. They will be proactive with a flexible attitude, keen to work as part of a team and committed to developing themselves in this skilled role and supporting colleagues to do the same. Health and wellbeing coaches are a key part of the PCN multidisciplinary team. They often work alongside social prescribing link workers and care co-ordinators to provide an all-encompassing approach to personalised care and promote and embed the personalised care approach across PCNs.
