- **Number of posts : 1**:

- **Job Ref : Feb 08**:

- **Location of Job : Court Hey Park/ Kirkby /Hybrid working**:

- **Rate of pay :25,500 per annum**:

- **Contracted Hours per week : 35**:

- **Working Days: Monday - Friday**:

- **35 Hours per week (worked flexibly with a requirement for evening and weekend work when required by the post**

**Purpose of the Role**

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

**Key Duties**:

- Take referrals from a wide range of healthcare staff, working within Kirkby GP practices within primary care networks and multi - disciplinary teams.
- Provide personalised support to individuals, their families, and carers to take control of their wellbeing, live independently and improve their health outcomes.
- Develop trusting relationships by giving people time and focus on ‘what matters to me’.
- Take a holistic approach, based on the person’s priorities and the wider determinants of health.
- Co-produce a personalised support plan to improve health and wellbeing, introducing or reconnecting people to community groups and statutory services.
- The role will require managing and prioritising your own caseload, in accordance with the needs, priorities and any urgent support required by individuals on the caseload.
- It is vital that you have a strong awareness and understanding of when it is appropriate or necessary to refer people back to other health professionals/agencies, when what the person needs is beyond the scope of the link worker role - e.g. when there is a mental health need requiring a qualified practitioner.
- Draw on and increase the strengths and capacities of local communities, enabling local VCFSE organisations and community groups to receive social prescribing referrals. Ensure they are supported, have basic safeguarding processes for vulnerable individuals and can provide opportunities for the person to develop friendships, a sense of belonging, and build knowledge, skills, and confidence.
- Work together with all local partners to collectively ensure that local VCFSE organisations and community groups are sustainable and that community assets are nurtured, by making them aware of small grants or micro-commissioning if available, including providing support to set up new community groups and services, where gaps are identified in local provision.
- Establish a Perinatal Community of Practice.

**Skills required**
- Experience of working directly in a community development context, adult health and social care, learning support or public health/health improvement (including unpaid work)
- Experience of supporting perinatal mums and their families and carers in a related role (including unpaid work)
- Experience of supporting people with their mental health, either in a paid, unpaid or informal capacity
- Experience of working with the VCSE sector (in a paid or unpaid capacity), including with volunteers and small community groups
- Experience of data collection and providing monitoring information to assess the impact of services.
- Experience of partnership/collaborative working and of building relationships across a variety of organisations
- Knowledge of the personalised care approach
- Understanding of the wider determinants of health, including social, economic and environmental factors and their impact on communities
