Social Worker, Specialist Neurorehabilitation

at  NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care

Contribute to the identification of appropriate discharge pathways and support with the development and implementation of discharge plans. Work with colleagues (both internal and external to the ICB) to unblock barriers encountered when trying to move patients into the most appropriate setting, including discharge to home. Work collaboratively with others across organisational boundaries to ensure that patients are cared for in the most appropriate setting to meet their needs. This includes, but is not limited to, GM Local Authorities, NHS neurorehabilitation inpatient services, CHC teams, community neurorehabilitation teams (CNRT) and IS providers.
Ensure that data is captured as per local processes so that performance against identified key performance indicators (KPIs) identified can be monitored and reported against in line with agreed processes. Contribute to the development of improvement plans and provide regular updates of progress against these where performance against KPIs falls below the agreed standard. Work with both internal and external colleagues to minimise the risk of delayed transfers of care (DTOC), taking appropriate action to address these by facilitating discussions to resolve issues, escalating issues encountered appropriately. Actively engage with the annual Performance Development Review (PDR) process and managerial and clinical supervision sessions to ensure the opportunity for personal development is maximised
