Overview
Would you like to work in a dynamic, flexible and forward-thinking team ready to adapt and accommodate every eventuality to meet patients needs safely in the community? If so, Care Coordination is the team for you! Our drive and determination to meet the needs of our patients led us to HSJ award finalist in September 2022. The Care Coordination Inreach Team works across acute and community sites to help streamline patient discharges. The team visits the acute site daily (New Cross Hospital) attending a wide range of wards to identify patients who will need community support on discharge and take the lead with discharge planning for identified patients. Our aim is to achieve a safe, timely and seamless transition from hospital to home for our patients.
Candidates must have a passion for service improvement and be motivated to promote, deliver and ensure success of the inreach service. Experience in service improvement and leadership is desirable as the post will involve the successful candidate working autonomously to implement, promote and deliver the inreach service with measurable set outcomes throughout the 12 months.
Applicants must be confident to promote safe and timely discharges into the community and lead with discharge planning (including liaising with MDT, patients and their families).
