Following a hospital stay, the ethos across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) for all people being discharged is 'Home is Best', for some service users who have complex needs or need a period of further assessment this is not practicable and they transfer to a complex assessment bed which is generally in a care home.

During their stay, service users will be given support, along with their carers and families around complex discharge planning. This will enable a timely and safe discharge to the person's usual residence or to a more suitable location if appropriate.

• You will work within the Adult Service to deliver a full range of health and social care activities, both acute and long term, supported by a robust competency framework to adults within the complex assessment beds.
