This is a G7 SW role carrying out D2A discharges from Pathway1, Pathway 2 and Pathway 3 settings and completing safeguarding enquiries.

We would expect the person to be available Monday to Saturday in Wolverhampton as discharge and safeguarding scenarios can require urgent unplanned visits in the community. We therefore would need the person to be able to attend urgent visits as and when needed.

Our G7 staff cover Saturday duty. This will be 1 Saturday in 5 working from home, taking the following Monday off. The expectation is they are able to attend any urgent visits either at New Cross Hospital or in the community should need arise while covering Saturday duty.

Should we require the person support the Duty team, we would expect them to be able to be office based 3 days a week. They will need to be available to attend urgent duty visits either in the hospital or in the community when they are working from home.
