Do you want to be part of our transformational journey in bringing together Health and Social care services? The Transfer of Care Hub within ESNEFT has undergone a large amount of changes over the last 18 months in order to adapt to changing demands and improve the discharge process for our patients. We are passionate about ensuring the people of Colchester and Tendring are supported to maximise their health opportunities and promote a home first ethos within the trust.

We are looking for a Band 6 to join our developing team working within the acute and community hospitals providing a seven day service. The Trusted Assessor role will be responsible for developing a closer working relationship between care providers and the acute hospital.

The role will sit within the Transfer of Care Hub but will be working on behalf of care providers assessing and ensuring patients are appropriate for the relevant service.

You will be required to have knowledge of the NHS Continuing Healthcare process and Social care act along with a clear understanding of implications and requirements of discharge for care providers and what they are able to provide.

We are looking for experienced staff who are organised, and have experience of effective multi-agency working and developing relationships between services.
