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) .
