Job Title: Early Supportive Discharge Team Member
Are you ready to be part of a new initiative at Salisbury Hospital? The Trust is investing in our Early Supportive Discharge team to enable them to support patients home as soon as medically fit, with additional care provided by the Council. The service works to a 'discharge to assess' model, in partnership with Wiltshire Council's re-ablement team to provide therapy in the patients' own home and ensure patients are given the support they need.
The team is based at the hospital, facilitating discharge plans and liaising with other services before taking patients home. The ESD team completes assessments in patients' own homes to ensure they have the adequate care and therapy they need to support their return to independence. You will be expected to effectively communicate and provide leadership and coordination to the team, whilst also using appropriate communication approaches to clinically assess and review patients. You may also be involved with providing care and practicing exercise plans in patients' homes.
If you are able to use your own initiative, be flexible in your approach, and are motivated to be part of a developing service, with patient-centred rehabilitation at its core, then this will be the right post for you. The ESD team operates a 7 day service from 08:00-18:00; therefore, flexibility in working pattern is required. A standard working week is 08:00-16:00. Having a full driving license and access to a car is essential.
Key Responsibilities:
There is an expectation that the candidate will be committed to providing high standards of care. Consideration will be given to those who demonstrate the Trust's visions and values and exhibit behaviour in accordance with the ESD Team Behavioural charter.
