BPRCVS is recruiting for a full-time Social Prescribing Link Worker to join our Pendle-based team.
The link worker will complement and enhance the existing programme hosted by BPRCVS. Social Prescribing improves outcomes and experiences for people, their families, and carers. The programme enables individuals, identified in a range of locations including GP practices, to work with them on an individual basis or in groups to find solutions to social problems that are affecting their health and well-being and makes links to activities and opportunities within the VCF (voluntary community and faith) sector.
The link worker will be matched with the PCN. They will co-design their social prescribing programme to fit into the individual needs of that PCN, as well as the needs of the NHSE service spec.
The role will involve reducing health inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing, and physical inactivity, by increasing people’s involvement with their local community. This will involve in particular patients with long-term conditions (including mental health), people who are lonely and isolated, or have complex social needs that affect their well-being.
