About The Team
The Hospital Social Care Team (HSCT) operates across three main hospital sites in Warwickshire and Coventry, delivering a fast-paced, responsive service that supports safe and timely discharge from hospital.
We work within the Discharge to Assess model, using a strengths-based approach to support individuals to regain independence and achieve positive outcomes following hospital admission.
Our multidisciplinary teams include Social Workers, Social Care Workers, Trusted Assessors and Business Support colleagues, working closely with health partners to ensure effective and person-centred discharge planning.
This is a supportive and collaborative environment, with a strong focus on teamwork, professional development and continuous service improvement.

- Work closely with health colleagues and system partners to reduce delays and support safe discharge planning
- Maintain oversight of complex cases and support staff with decision-making in line with Care Act and Mental Capacity Act frameworks
- Provide management cover across the HSCT, supporting wider teams and contributing to service resilience

As part of the HSCT management team, you will also contribute to service development and continuous improvement, helping to strengthen performance, consistency and workforce capability across the service.
