Join to apply for the Discharge Coordinator role at Barts Health NHS Trust.
The role of Discharge Coordinator is an integral part of the multidisciplinary team (MDT), providing support and specialist advice to the clinical nursing team, allied health professionals (AHPs), medical teams, and extended MDT including social care and external agencies. You will be expected to offer the highest level of support and advice to enable the timely discharge of vulnerable and premature infants to their homes and families, while evaluating our services.
The post holder will leverage their experience and knowledge to support the transition from hospital to home, working closely with community partners to ensure a safe and supportive environment, with ongoing support as needed.
You will also contribute to multi-professional and multi-agency meetings, providing reports, information, and updates to relevant parties, including safeguarding meetings. There is a link role between the safeguarding team and the neonatal unit. Safeguarding protocols and pathways, already in place within the trust, will need to be integrated into daily practice, with a focus on pathways specific to the neonatal ward. The post holder will lead on quality and safety initiatives, including setting and monitoring standards under the guidance of the Matron.
