Ipswich, United Kingdom Primary Care Careers Full time

**About the Role**:
North East Ipswich Primary Care Network has an exciting opportunity for a social prescriber to join our primary care network (PCN) team on a part-time basis, for a maximum of 30 hours a week.

Social prescribing empowers people to take control of their health and well-being through referral to non-medical ‘link workers’ who give time to focus on what matters to each individual, taking a holistic approach and connecting people to community groups and statutory services, for practical and emotional support.

The main responsibilities of the role include:

- Receiving and managing all referrals from multi-agencies;
- Providing personalised support to vulnerable individuals;
- Working in partnership with the practice team to support patients and promote positive lifestyle changes, with the aim of preventing ill-health by means of behavioural change techniques;
- Completing holistic-care planning assessments, analysing how needs can be met by services and other opportunities available in the community;
- Providing information and advice about a wide range of services in order to promote health and well-being in order to support independence within communities;
- Forging strong links with local VCSE organisations, community and neighbourhood level groups;
- Contributing to reducing demand on statutory services, hospital admissions and to combat unnecessary GP appointments;
- Working with patients in the practice, or with patients in their own homes, to provide personalised person-centered support.

If you are a local community champion or already a social prescriber, and want a new and exciting challeng, then we would love to hear from you.

You will need to have the following skills:

- Experience of working within healthcare, the voluntary or community sectors, supporting vulnerable groups;
- Diploma Level 2 in Health and Social Care, or equivalent qualification or experience;
- Strong listening and communication skills;
- You will be familiar with local resources and services and how to access them;
- Motivated by helping people, with care and empathy;
- Ability to deliver person-centered support in a non-judgmental way;
- Experience of completing holistic, person-centered care-planning assessments;
- Understanding of the needs of small, volunteer-led community groups and the ability to support their development;
- Commitment to collaborative working with all local agencies;
- Experience and confidence in the delivery of lifestyle change interventions.

**About Us**:
The North East Ipswich Primary Care Network is comprised of two surgeries: Felixstowe Road Medical Practice and Two Rivers Medical Practice. We work together to improve services and access to healthcare for the residents across the North East of Ipswich.
