This role will be based within the hospital HWP team, focusing on young people with diabetes at King’s College Hospital and the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH) in Orpington, while contributing to wider youth health initiatives such as the Youth Empowerment & Support (YES) Programme.

Service Delivery & Development

Attend regular diabetes clinics at King’s and PRUH, linking young people to follow-up support.
Help other HWPs with YES Programme (including recruitment, social media engagement, and post-programme activities).
Develop pathways to link young people into wider services such as sexual health, mental health, education, employment, and extracurricular activities.
Ensure accurate and confidential data recording in line with information governance best practice (including use of WHO-5 questionnaires, goal trackers, and EPIC database).
Occasionally represent The Well Centre at NHS, local authority, and voluntary sector events.

Collaboration & Capacity Building

Work closely with clinicians, safeguarding teams, and multi-agency partners to assess risk and support vulnerable young people.
Attend regular MDT meetings and support diabetes and endocrinology staff to improve communication and engagement with young patients.
