I can't come up with a single one.
The range should be the whole of the reals. The best I have is $log(x)$ but that's only on the positive real line. And there's $f(x) = x$, but this is not strictly concave. And $-e^-x$ only maps to half of the real line.
Any ideas?

$$
f(x) = x-e^-x
$$
is such a function. Since $f''(x) = -e^-x$ is always negative, it is strictly concave, and it's not hard to show it hits every real.
Even better,
$$
f(x) = 2x -sqrt1+3x^2
$$
has $f''(x) = -3(1+3x^2)^-3/2 < 0$ everywhere and the explicit inverse $f^-1(x) = 2x+sqrt1+3x^2$, clearly defined for all $x$.

@CalumGilhooley The idea of "linear function + concave function" was fairly straightforward. I figured an algebraic function would have a closed-form inverse (unlike the transcendental $x-e^-x$), then fiddled with the parameters until both the function and its inverse came out looking nice.
