Home & Settle Project Officer

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 project officer role is key to this new model of delivery.   

The postholder will maintain good relationships between the hospital team and Age UK East London’s Home and Settle team and will oversee the smooth running of the service. This is an exciting time to join us as we build on our past learning and successes and increase the extent to which we integrate our services.   

Fast paced and with no two days the same, this work suits self-motivated team players who enjoy highly rewarding work that makes a difference to people and communities.
