**Social Prescriber**

**18 hours per week - Brighton - £11,675 pa (£24,000 FTE)**

**Introduction**

Age UK is the UK’s leading charity and our vision is to inspire and enable older people over 50 to Love Later Life. Age UK West Sussex, Brighton & Hove (AUKWSBH), is an independent local charity working in the community to help older people, their families and their carers.

We provide an array of services and activities that meet the needs and interests of the communities we support, providing opportunities for people to get out, have fun, socialise and build friendships. Our vision is to inspire and enable people in West Sussex, Brighton & Hove to Love Later Life. It really is a great place to work if you really want to make a difference in people's lives.

**The Role**

Due to the expansion of our Social Prescribing Service, we have some exciting opportunities for new Social Prescribers to join our amazing and dedicated team in various locations across West Sussex. You will be a key member of the Primary Care Network (PCN) multi-disciplinary team and will provide support to patients, empowering them to take control of their health and well-being. The support you give will focus on what matters to the patient, taking a holistic approach to each individuals health and well-being. You will be connecting patients to community groups and services for practical and emotional support.

Although AUKWSBH supports people over the age of 50, our Social Prescribers support all patients from the age of 18. You will be helping patients set goals, achieve personal growth, and behaviour modification as well as building resilience and social connectedness, reduce inequalities and help patients to have greater control over their health and lives.

If you have a good knowledge of local community activities and the initiative to find out more about the range of non-medical options available, then being a Social Prescriber could be the role for you. You will need to be well organised, able to manage a caseload, have good IT skills and be able to keep accurate records.
