Job description

Early Facilitated Discharge Practitioner - Band 5: [Subject to AFC Banding Review]

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Early Facilitated Discharge Practitioner to work along side the Discharge Pathway Lead and Discharge Co-Ordinators to support the Trusts agenda to minimise delayed discharges.

We are keen to show you any of our services and provide an opportunity to meet some team members, if you would like to arrange an informal visit prior to making an application please email [e-mail]

The Early Facilitated Discharge Practitioner will support the Trust’s Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT) working alongside the Discharge Pathway Team to enable timely discharges from hospital and to optimise discharge from hospital.

The process of discharge from acute mental health wards can be complex and stressful for patients and their support network. Early stages of discharge can be associated with increased risks to a person’s safety and recovery. Despite these risks, going home as early as possible can empower individuals to continue their recovery in a less restrictive environment, whilst ensuring that they receive the necessary support, help people maintain important relationships, reduce the stigma they experience and is desired by many people experiencing acute distress.

As a Trust we remain bold and ambitious with plans for both service and system collaborative transformation over the coming years to improve the health and wellbeing of our local people through high quality care.

We pride ourselves on ensuring our team has their wellbeing put first and as such provide a range of wellness opportunities including flexible working.

We are committed to the Greener NHS national ambition to becoming the world’s first ‘carbon net zero’ national health system by 2045 (Greener NHS (england.nhs.uk). As part of this, sustainability is embedded in our strategy as one of our four key enablers. In order to deliver on this commitment, we recognise that we need a workforce that is as passionate as we are about achieving these goals, for the benefit of our service users, workforce, local communities and the planet alike. For 2024/2025, we have launched our “Proud to be Green” engagement campaign which is aligned to the targets set out in our Green Plan. As a Trust, you can be assured that we will commit to supporting you in working towards our net zero ambitions, set out in our Green Plan, through our sustainability programme”.

The Trust is committed to ensuring that a diverse workforce is representative and inclusive at all levels. We would very much welcome applications from all under-represented groups including women, people with disabilities, people from global majority backgrounds, and those from the lesbian, gay, bi and trans communities.
