Social Prescribing Link Worker
North West Leicestershire GP Federation View all jobs
Posted 12 day(s) ago
Reference: 2429613
Job summary
We have an exciting opportunity available for a Social Prescribing Link Worker to join us to cover maternity leave.
Our Social Prescribers support individuals to take greater control of their own health in a way that makes sense to them and enables them to feel connected and supported to facilitate sustainable change. We recognise that community-centred ways of working can be effective in improving the health and wellbeing of individuals and our team have a good track-record of providing this.
Social Prescribers support medical and non-medical professionals with an option to refer patients to a range of local, non-clinical services when their health can no longer be improved through traditional medical interventions. Social prescribing schemes can involve a variety of activities which are typically provided by Voluntary and Community Sector Organisations (VCSE) in locations that feel comfortable for the individual, i.e., activities that support feelings of contribution and connection with others.
Please be aware that our organisation does not hold a visa sponsor licence, so we are unable to accept applications from those requiring visa sponsorship to work in the UK.
Due to the nature of the role, frequent travel between locations is essential. Applicants must be able to meet the travel requirements of the post. A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are normally required.
Interviews will be held on 17th and 19th November 2026.
