Qualified Social Worker - Hospital Discharge Team
Location: Wiltshire
Pay Rate: £36.54 per hour
Contract: Full-time | Temporary Contract
Wiltshire Council is looking to appoint an experienced and dynamic Qualified Social Worker to join a collaborative initiative with SFT NHS Foundation Trust. This project aims to enhance hospital discharge processes through early assessment and discharge planning, ultimately reducing delays and improving outcomes for patients.
About the Role:
As part of a dedicated team, you will be responsible for conducting early assessments of patients aged 65 and over who have been admitted within the last 48 hours across three wards. The focus is to establish clear discharge proposals, identify any complexities, and initiate early planning-either within the Trust or the community-prior to patients becoming classified as having No Criteria to Reside (NC2R).
You will contribute to setting realistic expectations for patients, healthcare staff, and partner organisations regarding discharge pathways and anticipated resource requirements. This proactive approach is intended to reduce the length of hospital stays for patients who are medically fit for discharge.
Key Responsibilities:
Undertake timely and thorough assessments of newly admitted patients (within 48 hours)
Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams across health and social care
Develop discharge plans based on individual needs, aiming to reduce delays post-NC2R
Collect and report data to support ongoing evaluation and potential service expansion
Contribute to a sustainable and measurable model that informs future discharge services
