Social Prescribing Link Worker
3 weeks ago
**We have an exciting secondment opportunity for an experienced Link Worker / Social Prescriber to undertake a new role within Primary Care.**
The focus will be on patients who have drug and alcohol misuse who do not have alternative forms of support and will not duplicate the work of existing provision locally. Referrals into our service will be identified by the practices and it is envisaged this will support older people to live independently in the community as we will work with them to get the support that is most meaningful to them.
The essential features of the service are empowering people to take control of their health and wellbeing, focusing on ‘what matters to me’, and connecting people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. It also involves creating action plans, reviewing these in a way that is most meaningful to the patient. Compliance with the recording requirements of the practices is essential to monitoring the effectiveness of the service.
It is also envisaged that this role will develop to work alongside other third sector roles to support existing groups to be accessible and sustainable and help people to start new community groups.
You will be working in Saville Medical Group located in Newcastle upon Tyne. Your working hours will be within the GP practice opening hours during the working week.
