Salford Care Organisation is part of the Northern Care Alliance, one of the largest NHS organisations in the country. A place with an outstanding reputation. Salford is the place which is taking bold, pioneering steps towards delivering a world class, fully integrated care system for adults. Twice rated Outstanding by the CQC, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust is responsible for delivering a range of community and primary care services and specialist services to Greater Manchester and beyond.

Working as part of an integrated system with our other Community Services, this is an excellent opportunity to work as part of an innovative team, supporting SCO to deliver operational excellence and deliver a model to support discharge planning at the point of admission (a true Home First Approach).
1. Acute Flow Team - To work alongside patients, families and clinical colleagues during the acute phase of a hospital admission until the point of being ready for discharge. Key requirements will be to communicate with family, obtain all relevant information and prepare processes to ensure rapid discharge working closely with ward teams, identifying required assessments and embedding discharge guidance and strengths-based culture. Included within this team is an admission avoidance team which will pro-actively pull patients from ED & EAU who may be suitable for a community alternative to hospital. The complex discharge team will also form part of this team.
2. Community Home First Hub - This team will receive referrals for all patients with supported discharge needs once discharge criteria is met. The Community HomeFirst Hub will support discharge from hospital same day or the day after where possible and will undertake assessments out-side of hospital setting working with patients, families and clinical colleagues to provide the right care, in the most appropriate place.

You will possess excellent communication skills and have a proven track record of strong organisational skills. You must be able to work on your own initiative to organise and prioritise your own workload and balance this with the demands of this diverse and varied role.

The Service operates a 7 day service, currently covering the hours of 8am to 8pm, including weekends. You will be expected to work shifts to cover these hours and need to be flexible and rotating posts might be an expectation.
