South Shields, United Kingdom First Contact Clinical CIC Full time

At First Contact Clinical our job is to enable healthy change in the people and places that need it most. We are looking for people to join our South Tyneside team who want to help us to do this in exciting new role.

Our teams believe that people are capable of change, are experts in their own lives and have individual strengths, needs and preferences. Our teams believe that people feel empowered in the presence of empathy and in the absence of judgement - when they are listened to, understood and valued.

As a First Contact Clinical worker your aim is to support the people you are working with to identify and draw on their strengths and those of the people around them, enabling them to make healthy

You will achieve this by working in a relational way. This means working in a way that builds a relationship, the purpose of which it to have a positive effect on the people in it.

When working with the people we serve at First Contact Clinical you are working towards the shared purpose of people developing:

- a stronger sense of themselves
- where they are heading and
- the relationships that will be important for them along the way.

This is what we mean when we say enable healthy change.

You are just one of these relationships and in the grand scheme of their lives, a very short term one. But the relationship between you and the person can generate positive effects and contribute to their ability to move forward towards their version of a good life.

We work across clinical and community settings, building strong relationships with our partners and embedding our offer within the neighbourhoods we support. As a First Contact Clinical worker you will support a caseload of people with a wide range of complex social and emotional needs to achieve what matters to them.

As a Link Worker you will work with people to support them to develop their knowledge, skills and confidence to become active participants in looking after their own health. You will guide and support people to reflect on and change their health-related behaviours to help them reach their self-identified health and wellbeing goals. You will introduce or reconnect people to community groups and statutory services and work with local partners to identify gaps in local provision. You will be skilled in coaching, communication and behavioural change skills and are able to work alongside people (individually or in groups) at their starting point to encourage and support them to become more engaged in managing their own health.

We are looking for you to bring your unique self and life experience to this work which is a key asset in doing this role well. We recognise that we are people first and professionals second. We will provide full training and ongoing supervision to ensure you have the opportunity to continuously develop and reflect on your practice.
