£24,800 per annum - successful candidates will be required to pay their own travel and mobile calling costs from their salary

Full time, 37 hours per week

Fixed term contract to March 2023, subject to funding

North Lincolnshire

Social prescribing empowers people to take control of their health and wellbeing through referral to ‘link workers’ who give time, 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.

Link workers also support existing groups to be accessible and sustainable and help people to start new community groups, working collaboratively with all local partners. Social prescribing can help to strengthen community resilience and personal resilience, and reduce health inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing and physical inactivity, by increasing patient’s active involvement with their local communities. It particularly works for patients with long-term conditions (including support for mental health), for patients who are lonely or isolated, or have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.

The Link worker will be a part of a small, but committed team with big ambitions that works cohesively and effectively together to get things done. The Link worker is an important and valued member of the team and, with the  support of North Lincolnshire Citizens Advice, the Link worker will be responsible for ensuring  funder targets are met in a pressurised environment.
