Kirklees and Calderdale Care Association (KirCCA) is a not-for-profit organisation representing and supporting independent social care providers across Kirklees and Calderdale. KirCCA is sector led and is involved in a range of different projects within the social care sector. This is a great opportunity to build your skills and knowledge and join our multi-disciplinary team.
We are involved in this exciting ‘Trusted Assessor’ project to support the discharge system in hospitals across Kirklees and Calderdale.
Patients can sometimes wait too long for discharge from hospital resulting in a poor experience of the health and care system and even poorer outcomes. The use of an independent Trusted Assessor collating information for a pre-admission assessment on behalf of a care home manager can reduce the numbers and waiting times of people awaiting discharge from hospital and help them to move from hospital to another setting speedily, effectively, and safely.
This role will require you to work collaboratively with partners across the social care and health system to deliver effective timely discharges to Care Homes across Kirklees and Calderdale.
To be eligible for this role, you must have experience working across the social care and health system. The ideal candidate will have relevant experience and understanding of the issues faced by the care sector, with applications especially welcome from individuals with nursing, care home management or social work experience. You must have the ability to work collaboratively as part of a broader team, recognising the importance of integrated working and good communication skills.
This is an excellent opportunity for an individual with strong interpersonal and organisational skills. Our ideal applicant will be highly motivated with an enquiring mind. They must be prepared to work flexibly and autonomously, in a high profile and demanding environment, working effectively to achieve successful outcomes for patients and their families.
We Can Offer You
We know there is a wealth of talent among people who have a disability, and we encourage applications from people with all differing abilities. If you need any support completing your application, please contact .
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable adults, children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
