The purpose of this post is to identify, support and signpost unpaid carers in a ward setting at East Lothian Community Hospital in Haddington, ensuring carers are well placed to act as equal partners in care. In particular, the post holder will be expected to support carers to become more involved in planning for the future for people they care for, and to ensure the carers are aware how to access support once patients are discharged into the community. This post would work closely with ward staff and the multidisciplinary team to help ensure an effective, efficient and timely discharge of a patient with ongoing care needs to return to their place of home or place of rehabilitation with the necessary support in place, informed by the patient, their health care professionals, and their carer.
