Social Prescribing empowers people to take control of their health and wellbeing.  2 full time posts,  job shares will be considered.

Care Network Cambridgeshire (CNC) are delighted to be working to support Cambridge City Primary Care Network (PCN) to deliver a Social Prescribing service for their patients.   Based across Nuffield Road Medical Centre, Arbury Road Surgery, York Street Medical Practice, East Barnwell Health Centre, Bottisham Medical Practice, Cambridge Access Surgery, you will be working with patients to build trust and create a personalised care and support plan linking individuals with community groups, voluntary organisations and other services.

Purpose of the role:  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 link workers will work as a key part of the primary care network (PCN) multi-disciplinary team, helping PCNs to strengthen community and personal resilience and reducing 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.

Key responsibilities

Working with direct supervision by a GP

1. Take referrals from the PCNs’ GP practices and multi-disciplinary team in 2019/20 and from 2020/21 to take referrals from pharmacies, wider multi-disciplinary teams, hospital discharge teams, allied health professionals, fire service, police, job centres, social care services, housing associations, and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations (list not exhaustive).

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.

3. Draw on and help to increase the strengths and capacities of local communities, enabling local VCSE organisations and community groups to receive social prescribing referrals.

4. Alongside other members of the PCN multi-disciplinary team, work collaboratively with all local partners to contribute towards supporting the local VCSE organisations and community groups to become sustainable and that community assets are nurtured, through sharing intelligence regarding any gaps or problems identified in local provision with commissioners and local authorities.

5. Social prescribing link workers will champion Social Prescribing and will have a role in educating non-clinical and clinical staff within their PCN multi-disciplinary teams on what other services are available within the community and how and when patients can access them. This may include verbal or written advice and guidance.

You must be a good, active, listener, enjoy making time for people and be committed to supporting local communities to care for each other. You should have experience of working positively with a strengths based approach, with people facing complex social and emotional challenges. You will have great interpersonal skills enabling you to support people, community groups and local organisations. Good knowledge of the voluntary and community sector. It is essential the right person for the role is open-minded, non-judgemental, has a respectful attitude together with an ability to easily create partnerships based on trust. Sound judgement and reliability are fundamental alongside a warm, friendly personality. It is important that you understand the need to put the person first and work with them ensuring their rights and interests are represented and their voice is heard.

The work will be challenging but rewarding and you will need to be resourceful, creative and highly organised with the ability to respond to change and manage a varied workload and work independently.  If you would like to make a real difference to people and communities and share our passion for preventative community based support, we would like to hear from you.  Please send CV and covering letter to us by email.
