• Work with the volunteer team to build capacity within the Social Prescribing Service and utilise volunteer resources

We are seeking someone with a commitment to social prescribing and an understanding of the potential benefits for all involved. You should have significant experience of managing a diverse team based across multiple locations. Ideally, you will have been involved in new project set ups previously and developed new working practices preferably in an environment where you have been working positively with people facing complex social and emotional challenges.

It is essential to be open-minded, non-judgemental, have a respectful attitude together with an ability to easily create relationships based on trust. Sound judgement and reliability are fundamental alongside a warm, friendly personality.

The work is challenging but rewarding and you will need to be resourceful, creative and highly organised with the ability to respond to change, manage a varied workload and work independently.

If you would like to make a real difference to someone’s life and share our commitment to creating more inclusive communities we would like to hear from you.
