About the role:
As an Assistant Practitioner,  you will support a safe and timely hospital discharge of people who are medically fit, and no longer need hospital care. You will be working 37.5 hours per week, and work across 7 days between 8am-8pm.
 
Your main responsibilities as an Assistant Practitioner:

• Provide assessments and care provision to patients and support them to regain strengths and skills so that they can live as independently as possible
• Avoid admission for patients in A&E and Frailty departments who require intervention to allow them to be discharged home
• Reduce the time people spend in hospital when they no longer need acute care preventing hospital acquired infections and ‘deconditioning’ (the loss of strength and independence)
• Provide multidisciplinary reablement and rehabilitation plans, and if necessary short-term care and support, to help people gain and re-gain independence, preventing or reducing need for longer term care
