Rochdale Borough is facing a huge challenge as it works to tackle the impact of COVID-19 within its communities. Over the last few months, we have developed Rochdale’s Public Health Outbreak Plan and implemented an extensive programme of work which includes; testing, contact tracing, prevention, PPE supply and distribution, and insight behavioural change to ensure that we can effectively manage the spread of the virus.

 

The Case Manager post plays a pivotal part in Rochdale’s response to COVID-19. The post holders primary responsibility is to case manage the contact tracing in complex settings, consequence management and support requirements associated with individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19. The aim of this is to reduce and control the spread of the virus in order to ensure that Rochdale is a safe place to live, work, visit and do business.

 

In addition the post holder will respond to a range of queries relating to COVID-19. This requires both national and local guidance to be understood and interpreted clearly and concisely. 

 

This is an important role in a high profile team. We are looking for one or more enthusiastic and highly motivated individuals to join our team.

 

The successful candidate will be required to complete training as part of their induction. They will be able to work under pressure managing multiple tasks and also able to work flexibly out of key office hours and at weekends, if required and with prior agreement.
