**About the Practice/Department/Team**

PCNs were introduced in July 2020, as part of the NHS Long Term Plan, to encourage more collaborative and joint up thinking working across GP surgeries with its local communities, providing additional services and programmes to support population health. Since inception, the scope and role of a Primary Care Network is ever evolving, with new initiatives and services being introduced frequently.

**Job Introduction**

Social Prescribing Link Workers give patients time to focus on what matters to them. They are responsible for connecting people within their communities to groups and statutory services that provide emotional and practical support.

Social Prescribing Link Workers will support and aid patients with varying needs, such as those living with long term conditions, those who have a low mood or are isolated, and/or those with complex social needs. The role of the link worker is to provide support to these patients to navigate their needs to improve their health, wellbeing and reduce feelings of isolation with the aim to support patients to integrate in their communities.

As part of the NHS’ Long-Term Plan to drive Universal Personalised Care, it is aimed to benefit 2.5 millions people by March 2024. Social Prescribing is a key component to this.

**What you will do**

As a member of the PCN Personalised Care Team, the post holder will work alongside other Social Prescribing Link Workers, Health & Wellbeing Coaches and Care Coordinators within the PCN and wider business group to provide a service that focuses on “What Matters To Me” for each patients who requires this level of practical or emotional support.

Care plans should aim to empower patients to take control of their own health, wellbeing, and independence.

You will also be required to understand and be an active member of the integrated neighbourhood, a group of services available within the local community. This is achieved by active networking with local services and utilising and being part of a directory of services within the community.
