Summary
We are excited to advertise this new social worker post, with the aim to develop, manage and deliver a high-quality service to adults with inherited bleeding disorders, including haemophilias, von Willebrand disease, platelet defects, and factor deficiencies.
We are looking for an experienced Social Worker to join the Haemophilia Comprehensive Care Centre (HCCC) at the Royal London Hospital.
The key focus for the post holder will be to provide input to those people who were infected with Blood Borne Viruses (BBV) through the receipt of contaminated blood and blood products, as well as those affected, such as members of their immediate family.
Ideally, the successful candidate will be able to work on a Monday afternoon, which is when the Haemophilia Centre multidisciplinary meeting takes place.
Aim of the role is to provide and promote a specialist, comprehensive and evidence-based social work service for patients assessed and cared for by the Infected Blood Psychological Service within The Royal London Hospital and across other Trust sites as required.
The post is based within Barts Health’s Infected Blood Psychological Service (IBPS) hosted by the Trust’s Haemophilia Centre. The service provides multidisciplinary care for those infected and affected by the contaminated blood products by conducting outreach and psychosocial assessments led by a navigator; and providing psychological therapies by a team of psychological professionals.
The post holder will provide a high-quality navigation/care support service, which includes psychosocial assessments and interventions to beneficiaries of the Infected Blood Psychological Service (IBPS). The post holder will also lead on outreach programmes and support the overall development of the newly founded service. The post holder will be essential in delivering a multi-disciplinary approach to supporting the beneficiaries of the service, and the HCCC.
The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.
Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.
We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.
We are dedicated to being an outstanding place to work and will work with you to get the best experience. We know flexible working is not a one size fits all and will mean something different to everyone. We are inclusive, so if you are interested in flexible working, please speak to the recruiting manager.
