An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our expanding personalised care team. Personalised Care gives people the same choice and control over their mental and physical health they have come to expect in every other aspect of their life. Personalised Care is a key element of the NHS long term plan. It helps a range of people, from those with long term illness and complex needs through to people managing mental health issues or struggling with social issues which affect their health and wellbeing. It helps them make decisions about managing their health so they can live the life they want to live based on what matters to them, working alongside clinical information from the professionals who support them.

You will be working within the personalised care team for the Valleys Primary Network (PCN).
