  • Work collaboratively with hospital teams, NHS professionals and multidisciplinary services.
  • Engage with families, carers and service users throughout the discharge process.
  • Review care arrangements and promote independence and wellbeing.
  • Maintain accurate case records, assessments and professional reports.

Essential Experience & Skills

  • Experience undertaking Care Act assessments.
  • Knowledge and experience of hospital discharge and community-based social work.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
