Job summary
To lead and develop the Out-of-Area Team (OOA), a specialist, multi-disciplinary hub delivering and overseeing inpatient rehabilitation for Birmingham & Solihull (BSOL) patients placed in independent hospitals. You will provide direct line management to key team members and drive service growth, ensuring high-quality clinical outcomes, efficient use of resources, and full integration of the rehabilitation and recovery model across BSOL. Your core focus will be on:
o Clinical Oversight: Regularly review patient care plans, track progress, and identify timely discharge pathways into community-based ICRT support or local level 1 or 2 rehab beds.
o Patient Flow & Pathways: Chair the rehab referral & bed-management meetings, collaborate with acute, secure, and community partners, and optimise length of stay, bed days, and overall patient experience.
o Data & Quality: Capture and analyse performance metrics to evidence impact, inform strategic planning, and support continuous quality improvement.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will establish and maintain core processes, protocols and working practices as the service evolves, while line-managing a diverse MDT--including Nurses, AHPs, OTs, Social Workers, Recovery Navigators, Peer Mentors, Discharge Coordinators, Specialist Housing Officers, Psychiatrists and Psychologists. They will oversee the assessment, tracking and monitoring of out-of-area inpatients, working closely with ICRT and local rehabilitation services to secure timely step-down placements and minimise inpatient reliance. By chairing rehabilitation referral panels and system-flow forums, they will identify and resolve discharge barriers early, implementing cost-effective bed management strategies to reduce length of stay and optimise bed days. Finally, through the development and use of outcome-tracking tools and informatics dashboards, they will translate performance data into actionable recommendations, demonstrating service improvements, cost savings and enhanced patient safety across the rehabilitation and recovery pathway.
