The post holder will work flexibly within the Southampton and South West Urgent Community Response and Hospital at Home (UCR/H@H) Service, part of the Southampton and South West Community Response Division, providing assessments, urgent case management and crisis interventions to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions, support patient choice, and facilitate timely hospital discharge across the City of Southampton and South West Hampshire.
