5 months ago


Ipswich, United Kingdom East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We have a number of exciting opportunities for Band 3 Reablement Assistants to be part of our Discharge to Assess Pathway 1 Service. These are innovative, permanent posts working in our 7-day service, which supports the safe, timely discharge of patients from acute and community hospitals to home. You will be working with patients in their own homes and community bed based settings.

The team adopts a Reablement approach to help them maximise our patient’s independence and make informed choices about their long-term care needs. Our aim is to develop a culture and understanding that being in a home environment is more beneficial for individuals than being in hospital.

The Therapy Service has a high profile within the Trust and thrives on innovation and challenges. The service has taken a lead role in many developments, including reablement, Discharge to Assess, REACT and Frailty Assessment Base, which is helping to shape the future of patient pathways within the local area.

Please be aware that this role require full flexibility including night sits (unless exempt ).

We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes.

We are one of the largest NHS organisations in England, employing more than 12,000 staff.

We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.

Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.

If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
