You will be expected to manage a clinical caseload of patients requiring complex case management in order to facilitate early discharge, to promote independence and improve patient health outcomes. The post holder will promote the Homefirst mindset with a passion for admission avoidance and will utilise rapid response and discharge to assess pathways to ensure that patients leave hospital in a safe and timely way and that there is safe and effective patient flow. The role will require you to work on a 7 day working roster with extended hours (inclusive of bank holidays).
The Therapies team at the Royal Free is innovative, creative and truly inter-disciplinary, focused on delivering high quality, patient centred care.
