Acting as the link between health professionals and carers, you will deliver invaluable information, advice, support and advocacy within a hospital setting. This will involve liaising with hospital staff to ensure that the timing of appointments, admissions and discharge are better coordinated and that the carers’ and patients’ needs are taken into account.

To be equal to the challenge, you will require a sound track record in information, advice and advocacy work, significant exposure to hospital settings and broad knowledge of legislation covering delayed discharge, mental capacity and safeguarding adults.
