Shrewsbury, United Kingdom Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust Full time

Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust are excited to recruit Assistant Practitioners to work as part of the Care Transfer Hub (CTH) Team based across the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals to support complex discharge.
The hub brings together staff from the NHS, Shropshire Council, Telford & Wrekin Council, and the voluntary and community sector. Together, these multi-organisational professionals facilitate safe and timely discharges, ensuring appropriate support is in place for each patient.
Since its launch in October 2024, the hub has helped to significantly reduce the number of patients waiting in hospital beds for discharge into home or community care settings. It’s also shortened the average wait times for discharge and advocates a “home first” philosophy, supporting patients returning home from hospital.
By enabling multidisciplinary teams to coordinate discharge planning effectively, the hub identifies the best and safest options for patients who are medically fit to leave hospital. This collaborative effort involves social care, housing and voluntary organisations working in partnership to ensure patients receive the timely support they need.
To take responsibility for a defined group of patients following delegation by the Registered Health Care Professional.
Work under direct and indirect supervision of a Registered Health Professional to provide health care support to an identified caseload

Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust provides community-based health services for adults and children in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and some services in surrounding areas too. These range from district nursing, health visiting and running four community hospitals through to providing very specialist community care through talented and dedicated staff.
Patients, carers and the public play a vital role in helping us to develop and improve our services and we are constantly looking for ways to work with local communities, patients and the public to innovate and improve. Have a look at the Have Your Say section of our website to find out how you can feed back your experiences and help us to continually improve.
