Overview
Are you looking for a new challenge? Do you want to become part of a team that places a premium on listening and learning, and which is determined to make a difference?
We have a fantastic opportunity for a dynamic Social Work Assistant who is passionate about enabling clients to fulfil their potential, whilst promoting self-determination, to join our Hospital Discharge Team based in Amersham Hospital.
If you have experience in the field of Health and Social Care, assessing needs, a real desire to enable clients to achieve or maintain their goals of living independently, and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment - we want to hear from you!
The Hospital Discharge Teams operate a 7-day service. At present, this equates to weekend working approximately once every 2 months. For this you will receive an enhancement and time off in lieu.
