Looking for your next opportunity in Hospital Discharge with a local authority that understands the importance of flexibility, work-life balance, and professional support?

We're recruiting experienced Hospital Discharge Social Workers to join a well-established team, supporting safe and timely discharges from hospital. With hybrid working available 3–4 days per week and flexible hours that accommodate commitments such as school runs, this is an excellent opportunity to develop your career while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

What You'll Receive

  • Hybrid working - Work from home 3–4 days per week, with a balance of hospital and community-based working.
  • Flexible working hours - A supportive management team that understands the importance of balancing work with personal commitments.
  • 35-hour working week - Full-time hours designed to support a better work-life balance.
  • Career development opportunities - Ongoing training and progression within Adult Social Care.
  • Supportive team environment - Join an experienced multidisciplinary team committed to delivering high-quality services.
  • Stable local authority employment - Enjoy the security and benefits of working within the public sector.
The Role

As a Hospital Discharge Social Worker, you'll be based within the hospital, working as part of a busy multidisciplinary team to support individuals through the Discharge to Assess (D2A) pathway and ensure safe returns home.

Working across a 7-day service (with a requirement to work at least one Saturday or Sunday as part of the rota), you'll complete strengths-based assessments, coordinate care, and work alongside health professionals to prevent unnecessary delays and achieve positive outcomes for service users.

Your Responsibilities

  • Completing Care Act Assessments.
  • Supporting individuals through the Discharge to Assess pathway.
  • Arranging and reviewing care packages to facilitate safe discharge home.
  • Managing safeguarding concerns where appropriate.
  • Working closely with NHS colleagues, therapists, ward staff, and community services.
  • Supporting discharge planning from the Emergency Department and hospital wards.
  • Maintaining accurate case records and delivering person-centred interventions.
About You

To be considered, you'll need:
  • A recognised Social Work qualification (BA, MA, DipSW or equivalent).
  • Current Social Work England registration.
  • At least 2–3 years' post-qualified experience within Adult Social Care.
  • Previous experience in Hospital Discharge or Discharge to Assess services.
  • A good understanding of the Care Act, safeguarding, and strengths-based practice.
