Discharge & Settle Worker

We have teams embedded in four hospitals across East London where they are recognised for the warm, responsive and kind person-centred service they provide for patients. They work in close partnership with ward managers, discharge teams and social workers to ensure the safe and timely discharge of patients, connecting them back to their local communities and ensuring that their chances of a sustained and speedy recovery are maximised. Our model has proven success in reducing re-admissions. 

Over the past 12 months we have worked to reorganise how our Home and Settle team works.  We have done this to reduce the pressure on individual staff members, increase the extent to which the teams work together and improve the consistency and sustainability of the services. The Discharge and Settle Worker role is key to this new model of delivery.   

The postholder will be working in the community and in patients homes to help them settle back into life and to connect with the support and services that will help them avoid another hospital visit as far as possible. Maintaining good relationships with the rest of Age UK East London’s Home and Settle team and will ensure the smooth running of the service and the best possible outcomes for patients.
