We are looking to appoint a hospital discharge social worker for a 5 month contract based at Wythenshawe hospital. The role is 35 hours a week, typical hours 9-4.30. Social Worker will primarily be based on site at Wythenshawe hospital, but we can offer up to 2 days hybrid working a week depending on demand. The hospital discharge team is a friendly supportive team of social workers who work closely supporting discharges from hospital.
The candidate will have a firm ethos of a ‘home first’ approach to hospital social work, and be able to work in a fast-paced environment whilst being able to work flexibly managing competing priorities. The worker must be experienced in completing capacity and best interests assessments. Strengths-based assessment skills are essential.
The role involves duty work, managing safeguarding’s and working dynamically to overcome barriers to discharge. We advise on a home first approach but in situations where this cannot be done the worker will need to complete full assessments for 24hr care placements.
