Description

We are looking for a health link worker to join our Bank team. You will work with the homeless or people rough sleeping across Somerset.

You will need to work as part of a team developing a service to provide early intervention and prevention nursing support for people who are experiencing homeless or rough sleeping across Somerset.

This includes those in hostels and supportive accommodation.

You will play a vital role tackling health inequalities by working with one of the most vulnerable groups in the county.

Working collaboratively with people and partner agencies, you will proactively engage with individuals at a range of venues in local communities, helping people to improve their lifestyle and overall health by contributing to a holistic approach that deals with the wider determinants of health.

As an organisation, the NHS offers a wide range of benefits including flexible working, pension contributions, market leading annual leave allowance, career progression and regular conversations, not to mention our Blue Light Card and NHS exclusive discounts.

The benefits of working in Somerset include the idyllic countryside, with our areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines.

You will get to enjoy these perks whilst still only being a stone's throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath and Exeter and only two hours away from London.

There are excellent educational facilities in the area and, when compared to other regions, house prices are reasonable. You will experience the best of both in Somerset, the countryside and the cosmopolitan - there is truly something for everyone

With a Clinical Lead and a team of experienced nurses you will support appropriate and compassionate health care.

You will work with the clinical lead and nurses to ensure that the team develop to meet the needs identified and undertake any relevant training required to enable you to work as an autonomous practitioner.
