There will be a focus on the delivery of rapid assessment and intervention for adults of all ages who do not require specialist acute hospital admission but who require crisis intervention within a community setting. This may be due to an alteration in their physical or psychological well-being, or a temporary change in their social circumstances which makes it difficult for them to be maintained in their own home without a short period of rehabilitation or intervention from UCR.
The UCR Deputy Manager will manage staff within the service and will work in partnership with the Locality manager, Directorate Matron, General Manager and Clinical Director on the planning, development and continuous improvement of patient care processes. Appropriate working relationships will be established with colleagues in other localities, services and Directorates within the local health and social care economy with whom their service interacts and with appropriate external bodies for the fulfilment of particular service issues.
