We can’t fix issues like poverty, climate change and ill-health alone. That’s why the School for Social Entrepreneurs exists. SSE helps 1,000 people a year develop the skills, strengths and networks they need to tackle society’s biggest problems. It runs courses that equip people to start, scale and strengthen organisations that make a positive difference. But it is not a traditional school. Learning with SSE is inspiring, action-based and accessible. SSE supports people in other ways too, such as funding and mentoring.

But this doesn’t happen by magic. We need to identify the opportunities and build the funding partnerships that enable us to achieve our impact. And maintain and grow these relationships over time. That’s where you come in. We are seeking a Development Officer for a maternity cover to join our team and grow our impact further.

You will succeed in the role if you believe in the potential of social entrepreneurship to create social change, if you are excited about identifying new opportunities for SSE to grow our work across the country, and if you are an organised and dedicated individual, ready to apply your skills to this role.

These roles are an ideal opportunity for somebody with some relevant experience, who is looking to develop skills and experience within the social enterprise sector and/or in a development role.

Our commitment to inclusion

Diversity is a fact of life. Inclusion is a choice and a practice – for organisations and individuals. At the School for Social Entrepreneurs, our aim is to drive inclusion into every area and activity of what we do: from access to programmes, to grant investment, to board, staff and partnerships.

However you identify, we would like to hear from you. In our commitment to continue to diversify our teams, freelance staff and programmes, we are particularly keen to hear from those who identify as: being from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds; LGBTQ+; and those with disabilities.

The North Southall Primary Care Network (PCN) is looking to recruit a social prescriber to support the residents of North Southall to take control of their health and wellbeing, gives time, focuses on ‘what matters to me’ and takes a holistic approach to an individual’s health and wellbeing.

This role will be employed by Ealing GP Federation on behalf of the North Southall PCN. 

Social prescribing link workers will also work as a key part of the primary care network (PCN) multi-disciplinary team. Social prescribing can help PCNs to strengthen community and personal resilience and reduces health 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.

The successful candidate will work to develop and engage a Network-wide patient participation group, aiming to deliver lifestyle promotion talks and activities such as walking groups, gardening clubs, etc, as identified by the Network members, with a view to enriching the lives of patients and improving their health and wellbeing.  In recognition of the size of the network, we accept that a hub-based model for the delivery of these services may be necessary.

Key Responsibilities

1. Working under supervision of the core network member practices i.e. the GPs, practice managers and the network manager, take referrals from the network practices.
2. Provide support to individuals, their families and carers to take control of their health and wellbeing, live independently and improve their health outcomes, as a key member of the PCN multi-disciplinary team.
3. Develop trusting relationships by giving people time and focus on ‘what matters to me’. Take a holistic approach, based on the person’s priorities and the wider determinants of health.
4. Work with patients to produce a simple personalised care and support plan to improve health and wellbeing, introducing or reconnecting people to community groups and statutory services.
5. Proactively identify and arrange locality-based wellbeing events to improve the general health of patients in the North Southall Network.  Have the ability to think laterally, to offer suggestions in discussion with the core group, as to lead at such events.
6. Refer people and/or introduce them to appropriate organisations in Ealing and nationally (where appropriate) e.g. voluntary, statutory (local authority) and local NHS organisations.
7. 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. It is vital that you have a strong awareness and understanding of when it is appropriate or necessary to refer people back to other health professionals/agencies, when what the person’s needs are beyond the scope of the link worker role – e.g. when there is a mental health need requiring a qualified practitioner.
8. Social prescribing link workers will have a role in educating non-clinical and clinical staff within The Network’s multi-disciplinary teams on what services are available in the local area and how and when people can access them. This may include verbal or written advice and guidance.
9. Provide progress and performance reports to the North Southall Network Core Group e.g. caseload monitoring reports, outcomes seen within people and families any cross-organisational barriers experiences and other reports as determined by The Network.

Key Tasks

Referrals

• Promote social prescribing, its role in self-management, and the wider determinants of health.

• If necessary assist/facilitate a GP appointment for the delivery of healthcare and attend with the person/family if appropriate.
• Make home visits where appropriate within organisations’ policies and procedures. Give people time to tell their stories and focus on ‘what matters to me’.
