Sponsorship and Visa
Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust believes in fairness, equity and above all, values diversity in all aspects of its work, as a provider of health services and as an employer of people. We provide visa sponsorship to applicants who require this in order to have the right to work in the UK, providing that the role you have been offered meets the requirements set by the Home Office.
Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa (such as data analysts, IT and finance professionals, etc) will need to meet the salary threshold of £41,700. For a limited number of clinical posts the Health and Care Visa route will need to meet the national pay scale for their role or the minimum salary threshold of £25,000 (whichever is higher). We advise that you check that the role you wish to apply for meets the requirement for sponsorship before applying.
Care Transfer Hub (CTH)
The Care Transfer Hub plays a vital role in reducing delays for patients who are medically fit for discharge. Evidence shows that individuals recover more quickly and completely in a home environment, yet historically many remained in hospital due to fragmented systems and siloed working across health and social care.
CTH is tackling this challenge head‑on by integrating services and professionals under one roof. This includes discharge coordinators, healthcare professionals, social workers, social care officers, community matrons, district nurses and reablement services – all working collaboratively to streamline the discharge process.
Post holder responsibilities
The post holder will be a key member of the multidisciplinary health and social care Integrated Discharge Team. The post holder will be instrumental in the identification, assessment and discharge of patients with complex needs from the hospital setting, agreeing the discharge pathway and services including home and bed based reablement services, urgent community response (UCR) services including admission avoidance /Virtual Wards and community teams. The post holder will co‑ordinate and navigate the patient across pathways to ensure timely discharge for patients deemed fit for discharge.
Community services
Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust provides community-based health services for adults and children in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and some services in surrounding areas too. These range from district nursing, health visiting and running four community hospitals through to providing very specialist community care through talented and dedicated staff.
EEO statement
Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust positively encourages applications from all areas of the community, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or religious beliefs. We are committed to ensuring people who work for the community trust have a good working life – and a good work life/home life balance.
