Social Prescribing Link Worker - Consett, United Kingdom - Everyturn
Description
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Link Worker / Social Prescriber to undertake a role within Derwentside Primary Care Network.
The focus will be on adults 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 people to maintain their health and wellbeing or support behaviour change to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
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 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.
