Job information
Post No. POSN Senior Practitioner

We are looking to recruit a Senior Practitioner to support the Home First and hospital discharge service.

Home First is an initiative established across the 5 Local Authorities in Gwent and Aneurin Bevan University Health Board to support people to leave hospital at the earliest opportunity.

The team consists of qualified and non-qualified staff who work across three acute sites within the Gwent Region.

The team manage and oversee the requirements to support discharge on behalf of the 5 Local Authorities and work as part of a multi-disciplinary team approach in order to achieve positive outcomes for individuals and carers.

The service is based across three hospital sites, The Grange University Hospital, Nevill Hall Hospital, Abergavenny and Royal Gwent Hospital, Newport and is predominantly targeted at discharges from the preadmission wards.

The Senior Practitioner will have a relevant professional qualification e.g.

Social Work or Occupational therapy and will provide onsite support to staff and interface with key stakeholders to ensure service delivery.

The role will also include supporting the Team Manager in managing and developing the service.

The Service covers seven days a week and the role of the Senior Practioner will be to cover predominantly Monday - Friday but support existing arrangements to ensure continuity of the service.

The Home First Service has established itself as instrumental in supporting the discharge pathways and is a really exciting opportunity for staff to influence discharge and admission practices across our acute sites and improve the hospital experience for our citizens.

Closing date for the post is 9th April 2023 with potential interviews commencing the week beginning 17th April 2023.
