Job Description

Job Opportunity: Band 6 Team Leader in Discharge Lounge
This is an exciting opportunity for development in the discharge lounge. We are a dynamic, knowledgeable, and adaptable team promoting safe same-day discharges for all patients, involving many multidisciplinary team members, families, and community services.

We operate in a fast-paced environment, working closely together to provide an excellent service, putting the patient at the forefront of our plans. By enabling earlier discharges, we act as a safety net, allowing wards the time to care for new clients.

Key Responsibilities:

Liaise with patients, families, care providers, transport teams, and more, both verbally and electronically, to ensure a safe discharge with all follow-up care and plans in place.
Work independently and as part of a team to promote safe discharges.
As the Band 6, lead the team from the front, engaging with team members to enhance their skills and learning.
Liaise with all wards to promote engagement and the service.
Assist with the daily running of the unit and stand in for the Band 7 when they are away.

We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, as well as in community sites, health centres, and patients’ homes. We are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers at CHFT.

Services Provided:

Urgent and emergency care
Medical and surgical services
Maternity and gynaecology
Critical care
Children’s and young people’s services
End-of-life care
Outpatient and diagnostic imaging services
Community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres, such as Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.

We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS, yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members—patients, staff, and the local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants but are also free to invest quickly in changes to meet local community needs, striving to be the best, and putting patients first.
