You will work with individuals to identify their needs, then support them to access other organisations, services or community groups as appropriate.

You will be customer focused in your approach with the ability to listen to patients' needs as well as develop strong networks and relationships with suitable partners.

Co-produce a personalised support plan to improve health and wellbeing, introducing or reconnecting people to community groups and statutory services. The role will require managing and prioritising your own caseload, in accordance with the needs, priorities and any urgent support required by individuals on the caseload.

What is Social Prescribing

Social prescribing is a way of engaging patients in primary care with a resource which provides support within the local community.

The Social Prescribing Link Worker will work alongside patients to identify what matters most to them, supporting them to access local services, community groups and activities that can help address their wider health and wellbeing needs.

The successful candidate will be confident in having person-centred conversations, managing a varied caseload and building strong working relationships with patients, practice staff and community partners.

The role will provide information and support to patients, whilst acting as a link between the patient, GP and other service providers.

The role will require managing and prioritising your own caseload in accordance with the needs, priorities and any urgent support required by individuals.
