We've got an opportunity...
We are looking for a passionate Service Support Worker Assisted Discharge Service.

The Support Worker post will provide reactive, focused and flexible support to inpatients following a hospital stay to enable early discharge when clinical needs have been met.

The post will assist the Health and Local Crisis Response Service Coordinator by undertaking duties required to meet the service users' needs in order to re-enable service users to remain in their discharge location and prevent hospital re-admission.

Referrals may require the support worker to take the patient home from hospital to enable their discharge.


The post-holder will be required to have the ability to assess service users' needs, complete and follow a support plan for the individual.

The post-holder will be providing practical and emotional support in the service user's discharge location and signposting to other services where appropriate to enable the individual to live independently in their accommodation.


The Support Worker will act as contingency for the Service Coordinator when required and may need to provide cover for their colleagues at other hospitals served by the Red Cross in the area.

Service confidentiality and safeguarding vulnerable people are key responsibilities of the role. The post is on a rotational shift basis at present between 10:00am-8:00pm Monday to Friday. Weekend shifts may be necessary in the future.
This is an assisted discharge role where you will be transporting people from hospital and providing a resettlement service.

This post does not include personal care and management of medication.

Say hello to the team...
