Job summary

Locala Health and Wellbeing embraces diversity and inclusion and encourages applicants from people from all backgrounds with our ambition to have a workforce that represents the wider communities we live and work within, which you can support us to achieve.

Main duties of the job

The Integrated Transfer of Care (ITOC) Team is a dynamic and multi-skilled team consisting of nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and Assistant Practitioners. We also work in alignment with social services and other Locala community services. Our purpose is to support a safe and timely hospital discharge of people who are medically fit, and no longer need hospital care, to a place more suitable to the person's needs. Assessments and care provision can then be tailored to support people to regain strengths and skills so that they can live as independently as possible. We also aim to avoid admission for patients in A&E and Frailty departments who require intervention to allow them to be discharged home
