About the role

Fareham and Gosport Wellbeing Service is looking to recruit a PCN Wellbeing Advisor to be based in PCN surgeries in the Fareham and Gosport localities.

In this role, you will hold a caseload of patients, offering assessments and one-to-one sessions to help manage mental health wellbeing. You will attend meetings to enable patients to get the best service for them and will support people to access groups and activities within our wellbeing centre and the community. You will use your skills and experience to work directly with people with mental health issues in one-to-one settings, including telephone, face-to-face and online engagement; this may, on occasion, include group facilitation.
