This is a key role within Compton Care, working closely with patients, families, acute hospital wards, community teams, social care and other system partners to help people receive the right care, in the right place, without unnecessary delay.
Main duties of the job The successful candidate will be visible and responsive across acute ward areas, building strong relationships with NHS colleagues and wider partners to identify patients who may benefit from Compton Care support, remove barriers to discharge and maintain effective flow.
