Job description

The Case for Further Change strategy references the need for further integration across health and social care organisational and service boundaries in Thurrock. Lack of partnership working can cause duplication of visits and tasks, handovers and referrals, the use of numerous systems and a failure to find out what matters to people means addressing or focusing on the wrong things. Lack of integration adds cost and demand to the existing system resulting in significant levels of ‘failure’ demand.

We want to significantly increase the functions of existing Wellbeing Teams to include tasks historically undertaken by health professionals to create truly holistic and self-directed ‘Health and Care Wellbeing Teams’. The Wellbeing Team have been chosen to pilot this project, due to their unique method to delivering care in the home. Thurrock Wellbeing Teams were introduced in May 2019 to address challenges faced by the homecare sector and to provide a person-centred approach to domiciliary care. Wellbeing Teams are small neighbourhood teams inspired by Buurtzorg’s neighbourhood care approach. The Wellbeing Team model aimed to revolutionise domiciliary care in Thurrock, provide an alternative to traditional time and task delivery model of home care and prevent, reduce, and delay the need for additional health and social care services by focusing on residents’ wellbeing and what matters to the person.
