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.
