## Notice

The Council wishes to procure a Care Home Trusted Assessor service from an organisation with the expertise of working at a senior level in social care delivery. The purpose of the CHTA role is to undertake assessments and re-assessments to facilitate safe and timely discharges from hospital into residential/nursing care homes who volunteer to be part of the pilot scheme.

The contract is for a fixed term of 8 months commencing October 2018.
