Are you an Occupational Therapist, Nurse or Social Worker who wants to work within Copeland?

We have a busy Home Care Practitioner Service with approximately 14 home care practitioners within the team. The aims of the home care practitioner service are to support the safe and effective discharge of patients from Hospital, to support them at home and prevent readmission. This service also supports the prevention of hospital admissions from the community setting. The focus will be on promoting independence, and should be seen as a steppingstone to patients who may require reablement, ongoing care or to remain independent.

You will support the team clinically and managerially, working alongside the ICC therapists who all in reach into the service.

The service will allow patients’ needs to be assessed and flexible support be wrapped around them, this will be reassessed regularly and tailored to their needs within the two week period whilst in the service.

Patients should be able to be discharged from hospital when they are medically fit and all other appropriate assessments deem the patient to be safe to be discharged.

The post holder will assess the patients prior to / on discharge, and a care plan put in place for the Home Care Practitioners to follow; the patients will be regularly reassessed throughout the 14 day period and their ongoing care needs agreed with Adult Social Care.

The post holder is an autonomous practitioner with a good understanding of the national discharge policy who hold responsibility for a defined caseload, coordinating care, undertaking assessments and planning safe discharges for patients, the post holder will work across professional and organisational boundaries to meet the needs of the patients.

They will assess, implement and review patients who require Home Care Practitioner involvement to meet their health and social care needs.

Carry out specialist assessments where they have the skills, and review other assessments to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan is put in place to support patients safe discharge, and prevent readmission to a hospital.

Assessments and plans will allow the interventions to be delivered by Home Care Practitioners (HCPs); supporting safe discharge and prevention of admission / readmission to hospital.

Working with the patients, their families/ carers and the wider community team they will create outcome goals for the patient to achieve during their time within the service and lead on the development, implementation and monitoring of the patient specific care plan to ensure these goals are achieved and the interventions are appropriate.

Liaise with Adult Social Care to ensure statutory ongoing care provision is put in place if required.
