    Brief

    This is a flexible, short-term support service designed to help vulnerable Wiltshire residents aged 18 and over who are medically ready to leave hospital but face practical barriers to returning home. The service provides up to 4 weeks of non-personal care assistance, operating Monday to Friday with weekend availability during hospital pressures. The successful provider will coordinate solutions across three main hospitals (Great Western Hospital, Royal United Hospital, Southmead Hospital) and community hospitals, working with individuals to identify and resolve discharge barriers. Key responsibilities include: assessing individual needs on hospital wards; helping arrange practical support such as cleaning, locksmith services, or food delivery; connecting people with benefits advice and emergency funding; coordinating with community services like meal programmes and befriending; preparing homes for discharge through decluttering and equipment coordination; and supporting individuals to build independence after returning home. The provider must be skilled at collaborative problem-solving, navigating complex practical issues, and working effectively with multiple partners to enable successful, sustainable discharges.
