Are you a self-motivated, innovative team player, who is solution focused and passionate about making a difference? Do you have an excellent track record of retaining and delivering excellent operational services? If so, we want to hear from you.
This is a very exciting time to be involved with Social Prescribing. It has been identified as a key component of NHS England’s Universal Personalised Care objective contained within their Long Term Plan, as well as London’s Health Inequalities Strategy for healthy communities published by The Mayor’s Office in 2018.
Family Action is proud to be the provider of the existing local Social Prescribing Service commissioned by City & Hackney CCG, delivering since 2014, which recently won “Best Larger Project” at the inaugural Social Prescribing Awards 2019. We are now delighted to be expanding the provision through additional funding provided by City & Hackney Primary Care Networks/Neighbourhoods.
You will work as part of a Primary Care Network Multi-Disciplinary Healthcare Team, providing 1:1 personalised support to Children, young people and families, utilising a holistic and strength-based approach, to help identify the wider issues that impact on their health and wellbeing and work together to co-produce a wellbeing plan to address these needs.
You must be a good listener and have experience of working positively with individuals facing complex social and emotional challenges that impact on their wellbeing. Being creative as well as having a solution-focused attitude to removing barriers to health and wellbeing is essential.
You will also have strong leadership qualities, experience of supervising staff and report writing to support strategic and organisational requirements.
If you can relate to these and have the necessary skills and attitude, we can offer you:
1. A competitive salary, leave entitlement and pension scheme
2. Career development opportunities
3. A full induction and ongoing quality training
4. The opportunity to become part of Family Action initiatives
