Bodmin, United Kingdom Bodmin Way Full time

Bodmin Way is the social enterprise for the Bodmin Team Ministry. Its activities are delivered in Bodmin and in support of the surrounding villages of Cardinham, Lanhydrock, Lanivet and Nanstallon.

Through its programmes Bodmin Way is improving the wellbeing of local people. It has a network of relationships which are deeply embedded in the community. The staff, volunteers and directors are particularly committed to support those who face the most challenges, although it provides a range of opportunities for everyone.

Bodmin Way is working in partnership with Bosvena Health, KBSK and Volunteer Cornwall to provide a team of community health and wellbeing workers who will be working in specific areas within Bodmin’ residential communities. This project will follow a proven model from other countries, which includes a strong preference for recruiting the project team from within or the immediate vicinity around the beneficiary communities. In this case this means Kinsman Estate, St Mary’s, Monument, Triningle in Bodmin. Applicants who do not reside in these areas will still be considered for the roles.

**Job Summary**

The outreach work of a CHWW is essential in helping to address the rising inequities in health and social care. You will work with the team to help identify unmet need in your community. The CHWW will help provide a bridge between community, health and care as well as supporting people to access the right services for them.

The CHWW will need to build long-term trusted relationships with a range of householders (pre-identified). You will develop consistent relationships with people in the households identified with the aim of improving the health and wellbeing of each of the individuals you work with. It is an innovative way of working that will benefit from passion and personality to support certain households in a set area.

As CHWW, you will have a level of self-confidence and personal robustness to enable you to work with the community, and to help people overcome their barriers with a coaching approach. You will have insight into the challenges that people can face, which might come from personal lived experience, from volunteering or from other employment. You will maintain a culture of inclusivity and learn to work in a trauma informed way. You will be a team player who values and utilises the mix of skills and knowledge of colleagues.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in collaboration with organisations across the voluntary sector and health sector, focusing on what matters to people and empowering them to find local solutions, whilst shaping a new role to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

**Main duties and responsibilities**

Regular household visits (monthly or more frequent) within a specific geographical area (called a micro area). Visits will be focused on building relationships and providing relevant knowledge to individual householders as required, to be proactive and provide the best support available from the various agencies available.

The officers of Bodmin Way will support and direct the workplan, and will offer insight into those known to the team in your micro-area.

**Relationships**
- Develop meaningful relationships within the local community including Community groups
- Get to know the wider support services e.g., housing, education, and employment at regular training sessions
- Build strong relationships with local GP practices and the PCN health and wellbeing teams to gain an understanding of pressures on the healthcare system and feedback what matters most to patients, enabling them to access the care they need
- Build close relationships with the CHWWs from the other sites across the integrated care area via monthly training sessions

**Support**
- Good listener
- Use a trauma informed approach to supporting each householder (training provided)
- Adopt low level health coaching and motivational interviewing approaches including goal setting as necessary (training provided)
- Engage and empower people to become activated and gain a sense of control over their health

**Navigational**
- Support households to navigate the community and statutory services appropriate to their needs
- Signpost and refer into to existing services as necessary including housing, education, employment and financial support

**Community engagement**
- Identify local community assets and promote a community-based prevention working closely with the local social prescribing team
- Identify and advocate for the needs of individuals and the community by sharing this information within the local multi-agency/disciplinary team
- Support engagement in activities in the neighbourhood which you are working
