Children and Young People’s Social Prescribing

3 months ago


Chichester, United Kingdom West Sussex Mind Full time

GP practices want to significantly improve the support they offer patients, with a focus on children and young people’s mental health and are working in partnership with West Sussex Mind to achieve this by funding a service based in practices across Rural North Chichester.

For this role we are looking for individuals with relevant mental health work experience, experience working with children and young people, and ideally a relevant qualification (perhaps as a counsellor, teacher, social worker, nurse, PWP, youth worker, family, housing or advice worker) who have a passion and interest in this area. This role has a focus on supporting children aged 11 - 17 years old to problem solve and self-manage their mental health.

As a Children and Young Person’s Social Prescribing Worker you will see children and young people who are referred into the service via their GP. The service will offer support to identify what they need and help them to work on these issues, through support planning and a goal focused approach. You will split your time across surgeries and have the support of a team of colleagues working with children, young people and their parents and carers across West Sussex.

The service will also involve having an awareness of local support that is available to young people and their families, such as Early Help, YES and other young person services. You will be able to take a holistic and flexible approach in your work with individuals supporting around both social and psychological issues that arise. You may also run practice-based groups and well-being sessions where these needs are identified.

Applicants must have a full UK driving license and an independent means of transport in order to fulfil the role covering the Rural North Chichester area and working with the wider team (mileage will be paid for travel beyond agreed base).

**Closing date: 12pm Monday 11th September**

**Interview date: Monday 18th September at West Sussex Mind, 45 Southwick St, Southwick, BN42 4TH**

Please note we are unable to provide sponsorship for this post, you must therefore be able to demonstrate your eligibility to work in the UK.
