Job summary
Social prescribing empowers people to take control of their health and wellbeing, focus on what matters to me and take a holistic approach to an individual's health and wellbeing, connecting people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support.
Social prescribing link workers work as a key part of the primary care network (PCN) multidisciplinary team. Social prescribing can help PCNs to strengthen community and personal resilience, reduce health inequalities (in relation to timely access and outcomes) and wellbeing inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing and physical inactivity, by increasing people's active involvement with their local communities. It particularly works for people with long term conditions (including support for mental health), for people who are lonely or isolated, or have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.
We are looking for someone who can work 22.5 hours a week over three days, ideally Monday to Wednesday but there may be some flexibility for the right candidate.
Previous applicants need not reapply.
Interviews will be held on Tuesday 20th October.
Main duties of the job
The Social Prescriber will work as part of the Primary Care Network's multidisciplinary team to support patients with non-medial needs that impact their health and wellbeing.
The role includes undertaking home visits where appropriate, completing wellbeing assessments and developing a personalised support plan. It involves collaborative working with health, social care and voluntary sector organisations as well as carers and families.
About us
You will be working within Gordano Valley PCN, a network of four local GP surgeries: Clevedon Medical Centre in Clevedon, Harbourside Family Practice in Portishead, Heywood Family Practice in Pill and Portishead Medical Group in Portishead. The PCN serves over 50,000 patients.
