We are looking to recruit a Social Prescribing Team Lead to manage our small team of link workers, who will ideally be someone with experience of working in the community as a social prescriber, but we would be willing to consider potential individuals with the right mix of skills looking to transfer into a new career area.

The post holder will be responsible for delivering social prescribing and developing the operational aspects of the service across the five practices which make up Mid-Chiltern PCN.

As well as providing leadership to the Social Prescribing team the post holder will manage a caseload of clients through assessment to onward-referral, working with clients in the practice that have been referred by GPs, practice staff and staff working in the community

The role will require extensive liaison with statutory and non-statutory services, to both generate referrals into the service and support access to relevant local services, so that seamless and joined up local services are provided for the individual.

In addition, the post holder will contribute to the future development of the service and will participate in support, supervision and training as required and representation of the sector at neighbourhood level

About us
This is an exciting opportunity to join Mid Chiltern PCN which was set up on 1st July 2019.

Its population is approximately 43,700 patients made up of 5 Practices (Amersham Health Centre, Hughenden Valley and Chequers Surgeries, John Hampden Surgery, Rectory Meadow Surgery and The Prospect House Surgery).

Mid Chiltern PCN's vision is to deliver the highest standards of care with equality, dignity, and respect to our patient population.

Our aim is to create a system where member practices work closely together in collaboration with health and social care, voluntary sectors, community groups and local people to deliver inclusive and personalised care.

We strive to consistently review and improve our services whilst remaining respectful of, and responsive to, the needs of our patients.

What experience will you need?

We are looking for someone with an understanding of social prescribing.
You'll be able to demonstrate the ability to be a good listener, have time for people and be committed to supporting local communities to care for each other.
You'll have experience of working positively with people facing complex social and emotional challenges.
You'll have great interpersonal skills and a cando approach to supporting people, community groups and local organisations.
A car is essential and a knowledge of the local area would be ideal as some driving is involved between the five surgeries and also attending local community events.
It is important you are I.T. literate as we use multiple clinical systems.

FedBucks is a federation of 47 GP practices covering a population of over 485,000 patients across Buckinghamshire.
