Job Opportunity: Intermediate Care Team Leader

We have an exciting opportunity to join our fast-paced, dynamic Intermediate Care Team based in Peterborough.

The Intermediate Care Service offers care and therapy support to patients within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough health system. Our vision is to provide outstanding, patient-focused, community-based health care and therapy, supporting earlier discharge from hospital and admission avoidance through the Home First model.

Working alongside the Clinical Team Lead, the post holder will provide leadership and management to Coordinators and Integrated Care Workers within the locality team, ensuring the effective delivery of Intermediate Care services as part of the countywide initiative. Responsibilities include overseeing care coordination tasks such as allocations, care planning, referrals, pending list management, and patient flow.

The ideal candidate will be innovative, decisive, and possess strong leadership and organizational skills.

Applicants with or without professional registration are encouraged to apply, provided they meet the essential criteria.

Key Responsibilities

1. Manage and coordinate a team of Care Coordinators and Integrated Care Workers to ensure effective service delivery, development, and quality assurance.
2. Collaborate closely with the Team Lead and therapy staff to promote a multidisciplinary approach to patient care management.
3. Work with colleagues across social care, health, and the third sector to deliver patient-centered, integrated care.
4. Assist in developing and implementing service improvements and modernization efforts within the Intermediate Care Team.
5. Travel independently across the county to meet service needs, holding a full UK driving license and using a vehicle, as public transport is unreliable for this role.

Please confirm in your application that you meet the specified criteria.
