Job Overview

ARE YOU THE PERSON WE ARE LOOKING FOR?

We are seeking a highly motivated and confident adult trained Registered Nurse, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist to work within our Flow Team as part of the LLR discharge hub. You will be supporting 13 community hospital wards in the allocation, safe transfer and discharge of all patients coming into and leaving the wards. We are looking for people who have a keen interest in transfer of care, capacity, flow and discharge planning. The right candidates will need to have a moderate level of IT skills, basic data collection abilities, excellent negotiating skills and show a holistic approach and a passion for discharge and transfer of care.

You will work as part of our team but there will be times when you will be working autonomously. You will also have the opportunity to provide support and education to our ward teams.

We currently have an agile working environment but also divide our working time between the 8 sites within Community Health Services, so the ability to drive and access to a vehicle that can be used for work purposes is essential.

The Trust encourages a healthy work life balance and flexible working opportunities are available.

Important note for candidates - unfortunately we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role. If you require sponsorship please do not apply as we will be unable to shortlist you.
