About AMS Case Management and the Role
We are a growing and dedicated case management company based in Bolton, Greater Manchester. We provide services to clients across the North West and North East of England.
For 10 years, we have built a reputation for excellence in rehabilitation, valued not only by our clients, but also by our employees.
Case management is the management of a multi-disciplined team of clinical specialists to assess, plan, and monitor the needs of an individual and the services they require to enable the individual to meet their rehabilitation goals, returning them as close as possible to their life before their accident.
Case managers are healthcare professionals (Registered Nurses, Social Workers, Speech and Language Therapists, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists). The role of the case manager is to work alongside the client to identify areas of need and agree with the client on an action plan to meet their rehabilitation goals. The case manager will work with the client to set SMART goals - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time bound. In partnership with the client, the case manager will identify appropriate therapists and professionals to work with the client to meet, and hopefully exceed, the client's rehabilitation goals.
We are passionate about the work we do, specialising in providing the very best support packages for our clients.
We pride ourselves on investing in our staff and we strongly believe we get the best out of our team when we do this.
Pay is negotiable depending on experience, plus company pension, mileage, and client expenses.
