We have an exciting opportunity to work as part of a new initiative to improve patient flow in our acute hospitals.
We provide a specialist service to sub acute, recovery and rehabilitation community beds aligned to our two district hospitals.
Our service aims to work as part of an MDT to provide support to patients who have been discharged from the acute wards to a community bed for continued rehab or support to enable them to return to the community.
This role will support those patients who require continued management of both communication and swallowing difficulties.
The beds will provide support for patients discharged from the stroke, frailty and Orthopaedics wards.
You will be a driven and enthusiastic individual excited by the prospect of being involved with a new initiative with excellent communication skills and a passion for driving patient focused quality care.
The successful candidate will work as part of a specialist Community MDT supporting patients in two community wards, one in each acute hospital. At Telford there will be 20 stroke and frailty beds and at Shrewsbury, 32 frailty and orthopaedic beds.
You will have experience of working with dysphagia and acquired communication disorders within an MDT setting. The role will support patients with rehab and to aid patients transitioning from an acute ward back to the community.
