You’ll have the freedom to work agilely across several locations, with the flexibility to work from home for part of the week. This means you can balance your professional commitments with personal ones - because we know flexibility makes all the difference.
This is a permanent position offering not just stability, but the chance to shape a new service and really make your mark.

What You’ll Be Doing
As a key member of the Hospital Discharge team, you’ll:
* Support adults leaving hospital, ensuring a safe, well-coordinated transition back into the community.
* Carry out assessments to identify the right level of support needed post-discharge.
* Develop and review care plans that promote independence and reduce the risk of re-admission.
