About us

Our purpose is to provide services to a patient population of over one million people in Derbyshire and Derby, as part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire.

It is important that people are supported to return to the most appropriate and safest place when leaving hospital. Wherever possible, this would be the place an individual calls home. This is important not only for their wellbeing and ongoing care, but ensuring timely discharge from hospital helps to create a bed for the next person who needs it.

The Discharge Improvement Team supports a range of projects and initiatives across the Derbyshire Integrated Care System to support our patients and people to return home as soon as they are well enough to do so.

The role offers a unique perspective of both health and social care and is a great opportunity to learn how to apply administrative skills within a busy project environment.
