Role Responsibility
Want to take the next step in your career?
We are looking for motivated, experienced professionals, as well as individuals embarking on a new career or returning to work, to join us. We value those committed to working in integrated multi-agency teams, embracing change, and adopting new ways of working.
As a Social Care Discharge Coordinator, you will collaborate with the Integrated Discharge Team to support the management of the discharge pathway for clients transitioning through the acute hospital setting. You will work closely with other agencies and professionals.
Your responsibilities include triaging and allocating referrals to suitable workers to ensure safe and timely discharges for patients on a hospital discharge pathway. You will supervise and provide complex case management advice to a team of Registered Practitioner Case Officers. Additionally, you will handle accurate data collection and escalate issues affecting team functionality to the Senior Practitioner and Team Manager.
The Integrated Discharge Team operates a discharge-to-assess model, which involves assessments outside the hospital environment. You will support clients as they navigate through and beyond this pathway.
Adult Social Care and Health services utilize modern office processes and performance management systems. The service is increasingly accessible outside traditional hours, moving towards an 8 am to 8 pm, 7-day service. Staff and managers are working on a rota basis to meet service needs.
We offer opportunities for training and development, along with support and recognition for your contributions.
This is an exciting opportunity to join us. Informal visits prior to interview are encouraged for those who share our values and are ready to be part of our journey.
