Brighton, United Kingdom University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust 379 Full time

We are seeking a motivated and committed individual for the role of the Band 4 Discharge Facilitator on L9A West. L9A West is a busy acute 35 bedded unit for adult patients who have undergone abdominal surgery or have a surgical condition affecting their digestive tract. You will actively participate in assisting with patient flow in and out of the ward by planning the safe discharge of an identified group of patients. This will include all referrals to the community and assessing patients discharge needs on admission. You will work closely with the ward manager, senior ward nurses and the hospital discharge team.

You will be supported to develop a wide range of skills, building upon existing theoretical knowledge, to support the discharge processes required to meet the service needs on L9a west.

Once trained and assessed as competent, you will be expected to work independently, within defined parameters of practice and supervision. You will be able to evaluate the discharge needs of patients liaising with internal multidisciplinary teams and other professionals or agencies. The hours can be flexible but it will predominantly be a Monday to Friday service. The post requires good communication and negotiation skills.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for professional development and career progression.
