This job is now closed

Job summary

Skylark Rehabilitation Unit is a 30 bedded facility in Yate (South Gloucestershire) which opened in February 2018. The unit is one of several community-based units providing active rehabilitation and ongoing nursing care for those people being supported on Discharge to Assess pathway 2. (Please see below).

Following a hospital stay, the ethos for all people being discharged is Home is best and a large number of people are supported to return home utilising the robust and established Discharge to Assess Pathway 1. For those who have on-going rehabilitation needs that are better met in a bedded unit before returning home, we have a number of community settings that provide a step down to a Rehabilitation, Reablement and Recovery bed (pathway 2). This will include Skylark Rehabilitation Unit.

During their stay, those people we support will experience intensive therapy intervention in our nurse and therapy led unit, with support given to them, their carers and families around complex discharge planning. This will enable a timely and safe discharge to the persons usual residence or to a more suitable location if appropriate.

We actively promote a multi-disciplinary mode on the unit where nursing staff work closely with therapists, social workers, GPs with special interest in older peoples care as well as other acute and community colleagues, to ensure the person we are supporting is kept at the heart of every decision.

This role is for 23 hours, nights.
