In-Patient Unit
Part time
Permanent
At The Kirkwood, we believe everyone deserves the very best care at the end of life. We're here to support people in our community to live well and to die well, with dignity, compassion, and respect. If you're passionate about making a real difference, we'd love to welcome you to our team.
We're looking for a Discharge Coordinator who shares our values and is committed to ensuring smooth, safe, and person-centred transitions for patients going home. This is a vital role in helping people return home or move to their next place of care with confidence and the right support in place. You'll work closely with patients, families, and our multidisciplinary team to plan and coordinate timely discharges, as well as advocating for patients' needs, preferences and wishes throughout the discharge process.
As an employee, you will be offered a range of benefits, including 27 days holiday (pro rata for part time staff), access to our Employee Assistance Programme, high-quality, low-cost meals at our Dalton site and complementary therapies. NHS Pensions are also transferable for those already contributing.
The Kirkwood provide specialist care, free of charge, to adults in Kirklees with advanced, progressive illnesses at any time from diagnosis to the end of life, respecting their individual needs and wishes. Care and support are also provided for their family members, friends, and carers, both during the illness and after death. Through education, training, and partnership with others, we improve care for everyone affected by a life limiting illness.
Please contact Kimberley Spencer (Senior Occupational Therapist) for further details or an informal conversation about the role.
