KCHFT are seeking ambitious individuals to join our Community Assessment Bed (CAB) team.
CAB supports some of the most complex transfers of care from hospitals mainly in East Kent to the community. This is a critical administration role in the management of community assessment bed occupancy in East Kent.
Your role will require you to demonstrate the Trust’s CARE values and utilize these values on a daily basis when liaising with families, other organizations, or our providers.
Attention to detail is key in this role as we support patients, families, and next of kin through the Discharge to Assess pathway. This can be a very anxiety-provoking time for all involved, so clear and consistent communication is key.
Working in a high-pressure service, you will report to the Purchasing and Allocation Coordinator and be responsible for ensuring referrals are processed, appropriate community beds are identified, and effective communication is facilitated between wards and internal/external providers to ensure the safe and timely transfer of patients from acute hospitals.
You will be responsible for keeping accurate, ‘real-time’ records of all patient transfers and supporting the team in ensuring all processes are followed, and patients and their families are supported.
Additional Working Pattern:
Mon-Fri and 1 Saturday a month
Rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC, we’ve got a passion for delivering high standards of patient care and excellent services to improve the health of our communities. To do this, we need outstanding people who share our values: compassionate, aspirational, responsive, and excellent.
We know a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion leads to better patient care and a happier workforce. We pride ourselves on being diverse and welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
As a flexible working-friendly organization, we want you to be able to work in a way that is best for us, for our patients, and for you. Talk to us about a flexible working arrangement that won’t involve sacrificing time for personal interests or family commitments. We’ll support you to work flexibly in a way that suits us both.
The job description and person specification give you all the information you need about this role. Please look carefully at the criteria in the person specification and tell us what you have done that shows you meet this in your application. If you need an application form in an alternative format, please let our recruitment team know. All information you supply on your application should, to the best of your knowledge, be true and accurate.
Still have questions? The recruiting manager would love to hear from you; their contact details can be found in the job advert.
We can get a lot of applications for some roles, so to be in with the best chance of being shortlisted, please make sure you apply as soon as possible. A vacancy may close early if there is a lot of interest in the job.
At KCHFT, we strongly encourage colleagues in clinical and non-clinical roles who have direct or social contact with patients to be fully vaccinated. In this way, we will be doing all we can to ensure your safety and that of your colleagues and the patients we serve.
Good luck! We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to #teamKCHFT, #cometocommunity.
