o Promote awareness of services available to carers and encourage early intervention where appropriate.

4. Manage a Diverse Caseload

o Maintain responsibility for a varied and often complex caseload of carers and patients.

o Prioritise workload effectively, ensuring all interventions are responsive, timely, and outcome focused.

5. Conduct Home Visits and Environmental Assessments

o Undertake home visits across the county to assess living conditions and identify any issues that may impact a safe discharge home.

o Assess the need for deep cleaning, decluttering, hoarding interventions, or other environmental support services.

o Liaise with relevant agencies to coordinate appropriate support and interventions.

o Undertake welfare checks for patients post discharge offering support, signposting and onward referrals to services

6. Coordinate Practical Support

o Arrange and, where appropriate, deliver essential items to support discharge and ongoing care at home, including small pieces of medical equipment, medication, and food parcels.

o Ensure carers and patients have access to practical resources that promote safety and wellbeing following discharge.

7. Work in Partnership with Professionals and Agencies

o Develop effective working relationships with hospital staff, social care professionals, community services, and voluntary sector organisations.

o Participate in multidisciplinary discussions and contribute to care planning to ensure carers’ needs are represented and addressed.
