Discharge to Assess, Band 6- Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist
Band 6
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest trusts in the country, serving a population of 1.2 million people comprising acute hospital sites at Broomfield in Chelmsford, Basildon, and Southend. We are a well-led, high-performing, and innovative organisation determined to provide the best health care services for our local population and working in the best interests of the people we serve. Job overview
An exciting opportunity to work within a developing and expanding team has arisen. The Discharge to Assess (D2A) team is a team of Therapists who work with people within their homes on discharge from Hospital. This is to ensure patients' needs are being met at home and provide an opportunity for more accurate assessment in their own homes, compared to the unfamiliar setting of an acute hospital. The Therapist (Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist) will need to work holistically within the MDT and utilise their profession-specific skill-set to deliver high-quality care and support the patient in their own home. Experience of working in the acute or a community setting will be helpful. The role will involve working with multiple agencies, inside and outside of the hospital, to provide the best service for the people in our care. MSE has a focus on developing the clinical and non-clinical skills of its staff both personally and professionally. Main duties of the job
You will be responsible for undertaking assessment in the community for patients under the Discharge to Assess (D2A) pathway. Assessment to identify a patient's therapy needs and provide intervention to promote safety, independence, and reduce the risk of re-admission or harm. You will coordinate services by undertaking a person-centered assessment; developing, implementing, and evaluating care plans, assessing equipment needs, and potentially working on rehabilitation goals as service capacity allows. The post holder will work autonomously within professional guidelines and the overall framework of the service’s policies and procedures. The team is a multi-skilled team and all staff will receive training to be multi-skilled to provide comprehensive assessments and treatment of patients. The post holder will undertake the learning and the implementation of new specialist skills and knowledge to include some physiotherapy skills or Occupational therapy skills. This may also include assessing for and requesting health or social care packages. All these skills are competency led, and appropriate training will be provided where needed.
