Introduction

Age UK is the UK's leading charity and our vision is to inspire and enable older people over 50 to Love Later Life.

Age UK West Sussex, Brighton & Hove (AUKWSBH), is an independent local charity working in the community to help older people, their families and their carers.

We provide an array of services and activities that meet the needs and interests of the communities we support, providing opportunities for people to get out, have fun, socialise and build friendships.

Our vision is to inspire and enable people in West Sussex, Brighton & Hove to Love Later Life. It really is a great place to work if you really want to make a difference in people's lives.

The Role

We are recruiting a caring, reliable and empathetic person to join as a Coordinator in our Take Home and Settle Team.

You will be providing valuable support to patients who have been discharged from hospital.

You will be required to collect patients from the hospital discharge lounge and settle them at home, making sure they are safe and comfortable.

This is an amazing opportunity for someone who really wants to help their local community.

You will provide older people with the support they need to return home safely on hospital discharge providing practical support in their home and refer into other services for ongoing support where required.

The successful applicant will need a practical approach, good people skills and will require a full driving license and use of a car for taking patients home in.

This is a hugely rewarding role for the right person.

You will be working as a part of a team that are dedicated and passionate about the service they provide to our vulnerable clients, providing invaluable support to older people in the community after being discharged from hospital.

You will be an excellent team player, working as part of a team that provides support to older, who will be at the heart of every action you take and decisions you make.

The role is 18 hours a week and the working pattern is on a 2 week rolling rota, with some weekend working.

Hybrid working is offered with a mixture of office, out in the community and homeworking.

A driving licence is required for the role as it may involve some travel.
