Exciting Opportunity: Social Prescribing Link Worker at Forest Heath PCN (Part- time)

Join our team at Forest Heath Primary Care Network (PCN) and be part of a transformative initiative in shaping primary care across our community. We are currently seeking a dedicated Social Prescribing Link Worker to play a crucial role in addressing the social, financial, and personal challenges that impact the health and well-being of our patients.

As part of the NHS Social Prescribing initiative, this role involves collaborating with patients to co-create a "Social Prescription." The aim is to support individuals in achieving positive health and well-being outcomes by addressing non-medical and social factors affecting their lives, such as housing, financial concerns, or social isolation.

Forest Heath PCN stands as the largest PCN in West Suffolk, boasting a vibrant and dynamic team. We encourage individuals to not only contribute to the overall mission but also to develop professionally. Ideally, we hope you'll focus on health areas where you have a genuine interest, actively supporting and making a positive impact on the local community.

If you're passionate about making a difference in people's lives, thrive in a collaborative and dynamic environment, and want to contribute to reshaping primary care, we invite you to apply and be part of our dedicated team at Forest Heath PCN.

We are seeking a part-time team member (20 hours/2 days/week) to support the Lakenheath and Reynard surgeries (10 hours each 0800 -1830) . The role involves a mix of remote and in-person communication—including Microsoft Teams, email, and face-to-face interaction. A primary focus will be collaborating with the larger Social Prescribing team to maintain strong links across the Forest Heath PCN areas of Brandon, Mildenhall, Lakenheath, and Newmarket.

Main duties of the job

You will be responsible for linking patients to services across the Health, Social Care and Voluntary sectors across West Suffolk. You will work alongside patients to help them achieve their goals, undertaking assessments and building relationships to agree personalised plans, which will empower the patient to make the necessary changes to enable them to live the life they choose.

You will work closely with GPs, community services, the ambulance services, Social Care, voluntary sector organisations, Practice staff and wider multi-disciplinary teams.

Job responsibilities

Based on referrals from GPs and other practice staff, work with patients to co-produce a personalised care/support plan to address the patients’ health and wellbeing and mental health needs. Based on the patient’s priorities, interests, values, cultural and religious/faith needs, connect them with appropriate groups, activities and services.
