Surrey Downs Health & Care is responsible for providing rapid access, enhanced, short term health and care support for people who would otherwise need emergency hospital admission as well as those medically stable to return home from an acute hospital but requiring enhanced short term support as one stage in their on-going care pathway.
The Surrey Downs Health and Care Home First service spans the acute and community providing joined up, co-ordinated care to local citizens with health and social care needs. The service aims to support people living as independently as possible by offering rapid multidisciplinary assessment and support at times of crisis.
The rapid response function provides assessment within 2 hours of referral and a short-term intervention to mitigate the risk of a hospital admission by providing service users with a short-term, high intensity package of care in the person’s own home as an alternative to hospital admission.

You will participate as an active member of the multi-disciplinary team in developing and delivering high quality and innovative services to the local population. You will promote effective teamwork within the wider Surrey Downs Health and Care Team, delegating activities appropriately, to the benefit of the patient and service delivery.
