Thank you for taking a look at some very special roles helping the NHS do what it does best – help people recover and enjoy a better quality of life out of hospital, in the place they call home.
We’ve got a range of roles – and we’d love to talk to you about how you can develop your career, and provide outstanding care and support to people.
We know people recover better in familiar surroundings following a stay in hospital and where possible we want to support individuals to be cared for at home or in the community.
Our vision is for all who are medically well to leave hospital to receive the care, remote monitoring and treatment they need and to be supported to recover and rehabilitate at home.
Research has shown that immobility in a hospital bed can lead to not only a longer stay but a loss of independence, so we are expanding the innovative ways to ensure people remain in the place they call home in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
This will mean tailored support will be available and will be based on a person’s needs: this may include appropriate community or voluntary support at home or transfer to a community rehabilitation or assessment unit bed. You may hear this referred to as Discharge to Assess. People may also have support from technology to allow remote monitoring of their condition, enabling them to feel safe when they are at home through our HealthierTogether@Home Service.
Discharge to Assess pathways are well established in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire and currently support a large number of people to leave the hospital as soon as they are able to do so, with support from community services. We work together with our colleagues across partner organisations to ensure a ‘safe and timely’ discharge for our service users to their usual place of residence.
Our teams work with individuals to deliver shared person-centred goals, improving their quality of life and independence.
We are looking for people to help us deliver this ambition to make a real difference to people and their families.
You’ll be an excellent communicator, comfortable working on your own and able to take initiative to ensure everyone receives the best experience possible while being supported by us. Could this be you?
Our teams improve hospital discharge pathways, reducing the length of time people spend in hospital, away from their home and providing greater opportunities for people to recover in the community.
As a Community Support Worker, you’ll be a vital part of our team. You will work closely with Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists to support functional assessments as well as providing the ongoing rehabilitation, activities of daily living and personal care support to people in their home.
You will also be assisting with clinical assessments and monitoring of people to enable them to remain safely at home, supported by our highly skilled multi-disciplinary team.
If you have experience working as a support worker, especially within a care setting, we would like to hear from you. You will be comfortable working on your own in the community, have excellent verbal communication skills and use initiative to ensure service users and their families have the best experience while being supported by us. We can offer you a fulfilling and rewarding career within our teams with opportunities for development.
We have full and part-time hours available and can support flexible working patterns - currently this service runs from 8am - 10pm, 7 days a week.
Our therapists support hospital discharges and admission avoidance, enabling people to live better lives in their home environment. We provide active rehabilitation to service users in their homes to maximise their functional potential and support them to remain independent. We are committed to enabling service users to self manage their conditions and rehabilitation as much as possible and to provide strong rehab-focused interventions from a skilled clinical team.
Integrated Network Teams (INTs) will offer a consistent service from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week but offer flexible working arrangements to support work life balance - positions available throughout South Gloucestershire.
In return, we will be fully committed to supporting your continued development. We will give you the opportunity to develop specialist community skills and enhance your multi-disciplinary working as well as your ability to support/supervise other team members and develop key leadership skills.
Our Integrated Network Teams (INT) are innovative and dynamic. We provide active rehabilitation to service users in their place of residence to maximise their functional potential and support them to remain independent within their homes. Our therapists support hospital discharges, admission avoidance and long term self-management, enabling people to live better lives in their home environment.
You will be working within a friendly and supportive INT alongside other Therapists, Assistant Practitioners, Nurses and Nurse Associates, Advanced Clinical Practitioners, Rehab Support Workers and Administrators.
We offer a flexible service which covers extended hours operating 7 days a week and work with you to support a work/home life balance.
