About the role
The post holder will work closely with health and social care professionals as well as third sector organisations to support older people to return home from hospital and remain living independent in their own homes.
This will include visiting older people on hospital wards, along with following up in their own homes. The H2H Caseworker will help to improve the patient's home environment by providing a range of adaptations, repairs and home safety interventions that will help prevent the risk of falls and accidents in the home and improve their long-term independence and well-being.
A key part of the role will also include providing advice and practical support in relation to accessing welfare benefits, housing grant-aid, heating grants and charitable funding as appropriate. It is desirable that the post holder will have a good knowledge of welfare benefits, older people's rights and entitlements and will have worked within a housing related service or health/social care setting.
