Summary
We are seeking to recruit Transfer of Care Hub System Discharge Leads who will lead a system-level Transfer of Care Hub (ToCH) for the Brighton & Hove ‘place’. Transfer of Care Hubs will link all relevant services across sectors to aid discharge and recovery as well as admission avoidance. The Hub will bring together all relevant services (acute, community, primary, and social care, and housing and voluntary sectors) to coordinate care and support for people who need it during and following discharge.
The successful post holders will lead the continuous development and improvement of the Transfer of Care Hub in line with evolving National Hospital Discharge guidance and good practice.
