The primary responsibility of the Care Home Trusted Assessor is to act as an independent and unbiased assessor on behalf of care homes in relation to undertaking assessments, beyond the statutory, that need to meet the needs of the individual. Other responsibilities include liaising with the care home to obtain information about the patient and facilitate flow of information between the hospital, the home, Adult Social Care and the Discharge team. You will need excellent communication and influencing skills as well as a passion for placing the individual at the centre of decisions about care.
