This will involve using initiative to develop creative solutions to identifying and engaging 'at risk' patients and working collaboratively with wider community services, including care homes.

To provide specialist Community Physiotherapy assessments and creative personalised treatment programmes co-produced alongside client's strengths and support network to support them to manage with complex health conditions.

You will be aware of physical and psychological factors for those living with long term health conditions and frailty and will support the stabilisation of their social situations with the view to improve quality of life and wellbeing.

To promote excellent collaborative working links with partnership agencies across the health, social and voluntary sectors to ensure the clients have the best possible support network to utilise the most appropriate health and social care services with the view to reduce and prevent unplanned hospital admissions.

To be an active and motivated member of the MDT and participate in projects and service developments including audits, quality improvement projects and the promotion of an integrated personalised care strengths based approach.

Whittington Health and the Haringey GP Federation have a strong and established history of working together to improve health outcomes for Haringey's diverse communities. We draw on complementary strengths, deep local insight and a shared commitment to delivering high-quality, equitable care.

As two of Haringey's integrators, we work in partnership with the London Borough of Haringey to lead the development and delivery of the borough's neighbourhood health model, recognised for its collaborative and innovative approach. As integrators, we act as enabling organisations responsible for supporting and scaling integrated, place-based delivery of neighbourhood services. This role is central to the national ambition to shift care from acute settings to community, with a strong emphasis on prevention, early intervention and reducing long-term inequalities.

A leading example of this integrated approach is the Multi-Agency Care and Coordination Team (MACCT). Bringing together professionals from health, social care and the voluntary sector to support adults with frailty or complex needs, MACCT is widely recognised as the model on which the Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT) can be built, demonstrating what truly joined-up, preventative and person-centred neighbourhood care can achieve.

Colleagues appointed will join an ambitious and inclusive partnership shaping the future of integrated care in Haringey. These posts are funded for one year through neighbourhood test-bed funding.
