Job overview
We have an exciting opportunity to support some of the most vulnerable patients within our healthcare system. Based at UCLH, you’ll be part of a small, dedicated Inclusion Health team working across the wards and Emergency Department to support patients experiencing homelessness and social exclusion.
You will play a key role in helping patients navigate their discharge journey—working closely with clinical teams, local authorities, and community services to ensure safe, appropriate, and person-centred transitions from hospital to community care. If you are motivated by reducing health inequalities and improving outcomes for marginalised groups, we welcome your application.
Main duties of the job
Support the CNS’s with a caseload of patients from admission to discharge, making all appropriate referrals needed.
Work with the Emergency department to focus on Inclusion Health patients presenting to ED and looking at admission avoidance and high intensity user plans to support the CNS.
Ensure discharge delays and barriers of flow are escalated appropriately to avoid increased length of stay for patients in hospital.
Support CNS’s with rough sleepers in and around UCLH premises.
