The role ensures people with neuromuscular conditions have a local expert on their care needs in the local community, who can give advice about appropriate referral pathways to patients, GPs and community services.
Job summaryThis is an exciting 12-month fixed term contract, suitable for a therapist or nurse, to work seamlessly with patients across specialist community care environments in Surrey and the regional specialist neuromuscular unit at St George's Hospital. The role will support the care of patients with neuromuscular disorders - a spectrum of individually rare diseases affecting the function of nerves and muscles, such as muscular dystrophies or neuropathies which can cause significant neurological disability. These conditions often require multidisciplinary care between doctors and other professionals working at multiple sites. This role will act to provide coordination, advice and support for persons living with a neuromuscular condition. This is an excellent opportunity to work in a specialist service and develop case management skills.
The successful applicant will work directly and semi-autonomously supporting persons living with neuromuscular conditions in Surrey and working very closely with the specialist neuromuscular team at the Atkinson Morley Regional Neurosciences Centre at St George's Hospital.
Please note that this role will involve some travel within Surrey and a driving licence and access to their own car would be of great benefit. Travel costs incurred as part of the role will be reimbursed.

Job responsibilities
Neuromuscular conditions are complex multisystem disorders which can affect the heart, lungs, bowel and endocrine, as well as the nerves and muscles. Identifying the correct care pathway and signposting patients is a unique challenge which Neuromuscular Care Advisors play a vital role in overcoming.
Care advisors provide expert advice on care, along with practical and emotional support, helping those with neuromuscular conditions to manage their condition throughout their lives.They also help co-ordinate the care of patients outside clinics and can provide support to non-specialist health professionals in the community either directly or by signposting those professionals to appropriate specialist services.
Care advisors play a vital role in supporting patients during the gaps of six months or more between appointments with hospital specialists and with liaising closely with specialist centres. They achieve this through making home visits, offering advice over the telephone and running their own clinics both virtually and face to face.
The role ensures people with neuromuscular conditions have a local expert on their care needs in the local community, who can give advice about appropriate referral pathways to patients, GPs and community services. They will be able to support patients to ensure appropriate support is offered between specialist centres, local general neurology services and community teams. This is essential to reducing unplanned admissions, reducing the morbidity and mortality of people living with neuromuscular disease and achieving cost savings, which is a crucial part of this role.
The focus of this role will be to provide holistic support and advice to adults and young people living with a neuromuscular condition across Surrey.
The post holder will work closely with individuals living with a neuromuscular condition and their families to co-ordinate clinical care and improve overall quality of life. They will work relatively autonomously in the community for two to three days a week. Two to three days a week will be spent working as part of the neuromuscular multi-disciplinary team at St Georges Hospital, which will have responsibility for training, supervision and clinical governance. The patients that will be prioritised in the community will be those who are unable to receive support in tertiary specialist clinics.
