Band 4 Care Pathway Facilitator

Medicine care group requires an enthusiastic, dynamic and highly motivated care pathway facilitator to assist with the discharges and flow across the care group. The successful candidate would be required to carry out paperwork according to the pathways the discharge falls under, early planning of discharges from admission, great communication skills, confident to challenge in difficult situations, cross cover at KGH if required. The post is Monday- Friday currently, however this could change in the future. The successful candidate would be required to work as post of the MDT team and work with external professionals to provide the safest discharges for our patients., This role will be joining the team of existing care pathway facilitators to plan and manage timely and appropriate transfers of care (discharge) for patients from the hospital; working to support the Trust goal to increase the number of discharges/transfers taking place before 10 am. The role will involve focusing on patients that no longer meet the criteria to reside in an acute hospital bed and working towards a same day discharge

We're an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we're no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London - more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It'll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
