Department – Mental health and Learning disability Integrated Discharge hub
Job Title – Bed Manager –Band 6
Base – Wotton Lawn Hospital Gloucester, Charlton Lane Hospital and Recovery Units Cheltenham
Hours per week –37.5
This is an opportunity to join the Mental Health Integrated Discharge Hub and become part of a team supporting patients from admission to discharge and beyond. It is an exciting time to join the integrated discharge hub team as many new initiatives to support the discharge process are being developed and trialled. The successful post holder will be integral in the development of these initiatives.
We are seeking a hardworking, enthusiastic and committed person, who has a keen eye for detail. The successful candidate would be expected to facilitate and support the management of bed allocation and discharge across GHC Mental Health and Learning Disability Trust Inpatient Services in line with Trust procedures and national guidance.
Good interpersonal skills are essential and the successful candidate will have had previous experience within a Mental Health or Learning Disability inpatient setting or Hospital or community team with an understanding of mental health issues.
The successful candidate will display the ability to communicate with a variety of professionals in order to aid patient discharges. The post holder must have the ability to multi-task, prioritise and problem solve in a calm, focused manner. Given the nature of the environments, the post holder may be required to adapt their day accordingly at short notice, which could then impact on scheduled arrangements.
The post holder must be available to work weekends to support the clinical on call manager with the allocation of beds out of ordinary working hours.
Flexible working is both supported and encouraged and at times necessary to meet patient needs.
This role would best suit a self-motivated, hardworking and driven individual who enjoys a challenge.
The Trust aims to recruit and retain the best possible staff who, through the application of their skills, qualification and experience, will make a positive contribution to our business of providing quality health care services. It is the Trust’s view that the costs associated with moving house in order to take up a post with us should not restrict our ability to recruit the excellent people we need, therefore we support staff to relocate with our relocation policy.
This post requires the post holder to be able to undertake all statutory and mandatory training and post holders must be able to undertake physical interventions. Fitness for physical intervention will be assessed by Occupational Health.
A valid UK driving licence plus the use of own transport for business purposes is essential. For qualifying staff the Trust has a Lease Car Scheme in place and also offers a popular Salary Sacrifice Car Scheme with our partner Tusker.
To ensure you fully understand how the Trust, as a Data Controller, will process and store your data please read the attached document ‘Applicant and Staff Privacy Notice’ prior to applying for the role.
Candidates for any staff appointment shall, when making application, disclose in writing to the Trust whether they are related to any governor. Failure to disclose such a relationship may disqualify a candidate and, if appointed, may render them liable to dismissal.
Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust are proud to have been recognised as a ‘Veteran Aware Trust’, evidencing the provision of the best care for Veterans and driving to improve the care for veterans and their families.
