The role of the Hospital to Home Caseworker is to work proactively with older people, initially in a hospital setting, identifying ways to achieve safer discharge, to improve their ability to live as independently as possible, for as long as possible, in their homes. This will be achieved by working within the existing local processes and pathways for health and social care, providing individual clients with a coherent person-centred approach in which their specific needs are seamlessly considered, recognised and responded to.
As the Hospital to Home Caseworker you will provide advice and support on matters including housing repairs, maintenance, adaptations and improvements; funding for works; benefits entitlement and other relevant services.
The ideal candidate will have a degree or equivalent in health, welfare or social care related subjects or sufficient relevant experience in supervising a home-visiting service. Please refer to the Job Description and Person Specification for further details.
A full driving licence and access to a car is essential and the post is subject to a DBS check.
In return we offer:
- a modern work environment
