About the Role
We have an exciting new opportunity to join our Discharge Team as a Discharge Assessment Team Lead.
Here are some things our wonderful employees have to say about working for Age UK Plymouth.

“I have been made so welcome by everyone in the building and cannot thank everyone enough. I feel privileged to be working with the whole team."
Do you have line management skills, coupled with a desire to assist older people in accessing services across the City of Plymouth?
The primary purpose of this post is to undertake assessments for patients who are referred to our Discharge Service on discharge from Hospital. The assessments are carried out to establish what holistic support is needed with a focus on reablement and preventing readmission. This is a commissioned service and as such you will work closely with the Discharge Teams at Derriford, Mount Gould Hospital, DAU and Short-Term Care Centre as well as internal staff.
The role has shared joint line management responsibilities for the Rapid Responders who directly deliver the support.
About You
Successful individuals will have excellent communication skills, be compassionate, organised and highly motivated to provide a high level of service to both clients and stakeholders.
Previous experience in a similar role is desirable but training will be given. It is essential that the successful candidate has a clean driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes, and a willingness to take clients in their own vehicle to appointments. You will also require basic business insurance. A mileage allowance will be paid (45p per mile).
If you would like to join a dynamic team in a role where no two days are the same and where you will make a measurable difference to the lives of those we support and the NHS then we would love to hear from you!
