The post holder is a member of the Discharge Liaison Team/Frailty Team that aims to facilitate effective, efficient, and timely discharge of patients from hospital. Particular emphasis is placed upon complex multi-disciplinary assessments and case conferences, including patients with complex needs, palliative care, and rehabilitation needs.
The role involves working across professional boundaries with multiple agencies, including local health and social care staff. Working with minimal supervision, the post holder will maintain positive communication links between community and secondary care staff, social services, and allied health professions to promote collaborative working.
We are excited to offer a secondment/fixed-term contract to work within the Integrated Discharge Team based at UNHT. You will work closely with the frailty team, local partners including social care and voluntary agencies to support care transitions and complex discharges from hospital to the community.
We require a qualified professional who has excellent communication skills and who is confident working across professional boundaries. You will need to be flexible, adaptable, and a good team player with the ability to work as part of a team as well as independently to provide a whole-person approach to the care and management for patients within this setting.
This is an exciting opportunity to work across health and social care and will include devising and implementing care support plans with the support of the Integrated Discharge Team.
At North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, our main priority is, and always will be, to provide safe and high-quality care to our patients every day; the kind of care we would want for ourselves and our loved ones. We want our organization to be the best place to work, with the right staff, in the right roles, at the right time, to ensure we deliver exceptional patient care and experience.
We will support staff by providing an inclusive and supportive workplace with health and well-being initiatives, staff benefits, and opportunities for personal and professional development. Staff recognition is very important to us; along with performance reviews and appraisals, we recognize staff through Star and Team of the Month, colleague recognition – a note of thanks, Managers Awards, Shining Stars, and Service Awards.
We recruit for values, and “Together we are North Tees & Hartlepool”.
