Community and PCN SAIL Lead

Thanks for your interest in this post.

It's a funny one because this post will be supporting "new" roles in a "new" setting with a whole bunch of "new" acronyms to learn. But, at heart, this work is as old as frontline support work itself.

Yes, the work will be based across the Primary Care Networks (that's groups of GP practices) around the Borough (there's 9 of them). Yes, it is using a relatively "new" term, social prescribing, but really the work is about sitting with patients and helping them understand where they are at in their life and what they want their life to look like.

Then, and this is the good bit, you will be involved in developing a new service, supporting our PCN SAILors and supporting people for a wee while in their lives, helping them work out places to go for support, care, enjoyment and improved health and wellbeing.

It will use your skills to get alongside people, listen and show care. It will use your experience of networking and learning what services are out there and what will work for our clients (don't worry, we can help with that bit!). Most of all it will depend on your ability to build trust and motivate people and your team to try things that might be new for them.

The pay off is that you will get to see lives transformed by patients doing things for themselves. And... you get to be a part of developing an amazing service that is looking forward to supporting adults of all ages across Lambeth.

So... if you have experience of meeting people, helping them move forward in their lives by listening, enjoy the new and exciting challenges setting up a new service brings, then we want you to apply.

We look forward to seeing your application.

Graham
CEO
