Community Case Manager (Care Homes Team)

Join to apply for the Community Case Manager (Care Homes Team) role at Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for us to recruit a community focused and creative Band 6 Community Case Manager for our Care Homes Team. You will be a key member of the team as it develops new ways of working to deliver the Enhanced Care in Care Homes framework. The team are working closely across Sandwell to join up pathways and ways of working across partner organisations.

You will work closely with Primary Care, Public Health, Social Care and of course the care homes as a key partner. You will be supported by a diverse MDT, Advanced Clinical Practitioners and Community Matrons as well as the wider Integrated Care Service (iCares) which works across Sandwell Community providing rehabilitation, case management and admission avoidance.

Reporting to Community Matron's and Advanced Clinical Practitioner for the service, the post holder will be an autonomous practitioner responsible for developing and implementing service provision within the care homes across the borough of Sandwell.

The post holder will have continuing responsibility for managing both proactive and reactive visits within the care home setting, managing patients with long term conditions, recognising signs of deterioration and escalating that accordingly. Having an awareness of disease exacerbation and treating as required. Reducing inappropriate hospital admissions. Linking in with the wider MDT to provide safe and effective care.

The post holder will also be part of the management/decision making about care and service provision, for patient pathways across the primary and secondary care interface.

We are an integrated care organisation with an outstanding reputation for teaching, education, research and innovation. Our 8,000 staff are here for 530,000 local people when they need us.

Our community teams throughout Sandwell provide integrated services for children in schools, GP practices and at home. They also offer both general and specialist home care for adults in hospices and nursing homes.

In 2024 we opened the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital – the perfect demonstration of our vision for the future. And we are investing in far more than buildings.

We are dedicated to investing in you. It matters to us that you enjoy the training, support and opportunities you need to fulfil your total potential and build the career you really want.

To make that happen, we’ve trebled our training budget. We’ve developed new career path frameworks and new ways to recognise your achievements. Because you’re part of our family, we want the best for you.

Our organisation has nine care promises that reflect how we expect each other to treat patients, visitors and colleagues. We know these promises embody our caring ethos because they were developed by our own frontline staff.
