Case Officer – Short Term Pathways Team – East Kent Area

Want to take the next step in your career?

The Short Term Pathways Team works very closely with partner agencies to improve patient transition pathways. As a Case Officer in the team you will work alongside the Rapid Transfer of Care Team and manage a small caseload with a fast turnover of adults who are currently in an acute or community hospital, or other short-term care setting.

The Rapid Transfer of Care team operates a discharge to assess model of care which involves patients having their assessments outside of the acute hospital environment and you will be supporting clients as they move through and beyond this pathway. You will work within a multi-professional, supportive environment where knowledge and skills are shared to achieve the best possible outcomes for individuals.

If you would like to be a part of the Short Term Pathways Team during a time of exciting and innovative change then we would love to hear from you.

The new Adult Social Care and Health service operates with modernised office processes and performance management systems. It is increasingly accessible to the public outside of traditional office hours, as we move towards an 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week service to ensure service needs are met.
