Social Prescriber Link Worker

2 weeks ago


St Helens, St. Helens, United Kingdom City Health Care Partnership CIC Full time
1 x permanent position available, along with bank opportunities


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 diverse community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support.

The social prescribing link worker will work as a key part of the primary care network (PCN) multi-disciplinary team, to reduce health and wellbeing inequalities of the residents of St Helens.


By utilising an asset-based approach, the link worker will address the wider determinants of health such as debt, poor housing, mental health and isolation that can negatively affect health and wellbeing.

The post holder will work collaboratively with both lifestyle and wider statutory and community-based services to ensure the provision of effective and timely advice and support for individuals.

Ultimately, the link worker will provide a holistic approach to resolving issues and improving overall health, wellbeing and quality of life through helping individual's maintain or regain independence.


At CHCP, we're passionate about people and we know that you are too, that's why we're here isn't it? We recognise that high quality care is delivered by high quality professionals who are appreciated, respected and supported, which is why we want to give all our colleagues the chance to shine.

Work with us and you'll be more than just a number.

Our people are our shareholders and their thoughts and opinions are always heard; at CHCP you have a real voice.


Compassion is at the heart of our business; we're a team of nearly 2,500 colleagues who work together to deliver first-class healthcare to thousands of people living in Hull, the East Riding, Knowsley and St Helens.

Local diversity demands diverse roles, that's why we have vacancies to suit everybody. No matter your role at CHCP, we'll support you to thrive.

As the 13th largest social enterprise in the UK, we're pioneering the move towards independent service delivery. Join us on our journey and help us make history.
