Responsibilities
This role offers a unique rotational opportunity across three dynamic service areas: Urgent Community Response (UCR), Integrated Transfer of Care (ITOC), and Intermediate Care (IMC). You will spend approximately one year in each setting, gaining broad and valuable experience across the full patient pathway, from rapid response in the community, to safe and effective hospital discharge, to supporting recovery and independence in intermediate care.
The service covers community settings and offers a 7‑day service from 8 am until 8 pm, providing assessment, treatment, and evaluation of clients’ needs in a short‑term intervention program. The team’s aim is to prevent unnecessary admission to hospital and provide Urgent Community Response.
The post holder will require excellent communication skills to build complex relationships and network with key stakeholders to enable integration. Using initiative is essential, as is skill sharing with colleagues within the team and the wider organisation. It is essential that all team members work closely together, to truly integrate an MDT and provide a comprehensive service, utilising the Calderdale framework.
There are opportunities for therapy skills development and further education. We are committed to supporting CPD through a robust appraisal system delivered by in‑service training, access to external courses and clinical supervision.
