You’ll be working as part of a wider integrated team and will be a physical presence at all touch points and decision making opportunities. You’ll enable targeted, preventative community interventions that are focused on admissions avoidance and turning people around at the ‘front door’.

You’ll act as the first point of contact for all referrals into the voluntary and community sector ensuring people who can be supported through a community response are linked to appropriate interventions addressing the social, economic and environmental factors that affect people's health.

You’ll empathise with people and provide person-centred support in a non-judgemental way, enabling them to self-manage. You’ll use a strength-based approach focusing on what the person can do for themselves to improve their health and will build resilience by supporting them to identify what assets they already have or can draw upon.

You’ll ensure service data and local intelligence is captured and communicated to inform the review, revision and development of interventions to meet needs, strengthen community and individual resilience and help to develop and grow accessible and sustainable activities and services that address the wider determinants of health and reduce health inequalities.
