How the Schemes Work Professionals from teams in health/social care contact the office to arrange assistance for people being discharged from hospital or who are at home and at risk of readmission. Most of the requests are for short-term practical help and include but are not limited to: - Collecting a patient from hospital and transporting them home safely. Basic shopping.

Fitting temporary key safes. Delivering and fitting small pieces of equipment e.g., bed levers, commodes, pressure relieving cushions, chair raisers etc. Collecting clothes and other personal items from home and taking to the ward. Short-term feeding of pets left at home.

Picking up the patients key to provide access for a contractor e.g., for repairs, adaptations, environmental health. Assistance with moving small items of furniture to facilitate a hospital bed delivery, or to enable greater mobility and thus avoid admission to hospital. Referrer led home assessments. Escorting to hospital appointments.

Duties and Responsibilities (dependent on the scheme): Work closely with other team members to take referrals from a range of referrers, including health and social care staff, friends and family members and the individual themselves, and carry out those referrals or allocate volunteers where appropriate.

Follow up, check, and review all referrals with volunteers, service users and service providers in a systematic way. Complete a check list to ensure all identified needs have been actioned. When appropriate for the particular scheme, ensure that each service user receives a home visit prior to allocation of a volunteer in order to confirm personal details, undertake a risk assessment and better understand them and their needs. As appropriate, ensure that those service users with complex needs and who are not suitable for a volunteer receive a monthly visit from a relevant staff member.

As appropriate, provide telephone support to service users. As directed provide ongoing support and supervision to volunteers within SCCCC and ensure that the service is responsive to the needs of its volunteers.
