Community Rehabilitation Support Worker

Discharge to Assess (home first) is a thriving service in Nottinghamshire. It is designed to help patients to be discharged earlier once they have become medically fit, using the latest systems and technology to provide the most efficient and effective reablement care possible, putting the patient at the centre of their own care and delivering the outcomes they wish to achieve to support their health and wellbeing.

The team enables individuals to increase independence and improve health outcomes by designing programs for recovery and self-care management through timely assessments, interventions, reablement, rehabilitation and management of long-term and life limiting conditions working in collaboration with the patient, their carer, and are vital in transforming community health services, ensuring high quality care is provided both now and into the future based around the needs of our patients - together we all make a difference.
