Salary: £31,150 per annum
Candidates are strongly encouraged to apply early as applications will be considered upon submission. Closing date 14.10.26 but may close earlier if adequate applications are received.
We're looking for a full time Social Prescribing link worker who will be employed wholly by One Wight Health Ltd and will work within the Islands South Primary Care Network at the Bay Medical Practice (Covering Sandown and Shanklin branches).
You will work with individuals to identify their needs, then support them to access other organisations, services or community groups as appropriate. You will be engaging and use your skills to build networks to identify local services that can support patients with underlying issues that may contribute to ill health, such as managing their housing, finances, stress, loneliness or lifestyle choices.
To be successful you must have experience of managing your own caseload, knowledge of the local community, ideally hold a relevant health qualification and have knowledge of advice and advocacy services. You will be customer focused in your approach with the ability to listen to patients' needs as well as develop strong networks and relationships with suitable partners. Full UK Driving licence and use of car is essential.
Main duties of the job
Take referrals from a wide range of agencies, working with GP practices within primary care networks, pharmacies, multi-disciplinary teams, hospital discharge teams, allied health professionals, fire service, police, job centres, social care services, housing associations, and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations (list not exhaustive).
Provide personalised support to individuals, their families and carers to take control of their wellbeing, live independently and improve their health outcomes. Develop trusting relationships by giving people time and focus on what matters to me. Take a holistic approach, based on the persons priorities and the wider determinants of health. Co-produce a personalised support plan to improve health and wellbeing, introducing or reconnecting people to community groups and statutory services. The role will require managing and prioritising your own caseload, in accordance with the needs, priorities and any urgent support required by individuals on the caseload. It is vital that you have a strong awareness and understanding of when it is appropriate or necessary to refer people back to other health professionals/agencies, when what the person needs is beyond the scope of the link worker role e.g. when there is a mental health need requiring a qualified practitioner.
About us
One Wight Health supports our member GP practices to help them deliver the best possible care to patients on the Island. We host a team including Social Prescribers & Health and Wellbeing Coaches under a Primary Care Contract that support our Island practices.
Our Approach
We aim to do that by providing centralised services that enable GPs to enhance their offer of support to patients.
We also help bid for and secure additional funding from NHS England, where it becomes available, to help support new initiatives that help practices to meet their patients care needs and we work to support general practice/primary care, to make sure it has a voice within the wider healthcare system as it develops plans for the future care for our population.

Key responsibilities
- Take referrals from a wide range of agencies, working with GP practices within primary care networks, pharmacies, multi-disciplinary teams, hospital discharge teams, allied health professionals, fire service, police, job centres, social care services, housing associations, and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations (list not exhaustive).
- Provide personalised support to individuals, their families and carers to take control of their wellbeing, live independently and improve their health outcomes. Develop trusting relationships by giving people time and focus on what matters to me. Take a holistic approach, based on the persons priorities and the wider determinants of health. Co-produce a personalised support plan to improve health and wellbeing, introducing or reconnecting people to community groups and statutory services. The role will require managing and prioritising your own caseload, in accordance with the needs, priorities and any urgent support required by individuals on the caseload. It is vital that you have a strong awareness and understanding of when it is appropriate or necessary to refer people back to other health professionals/agencies, when what the person needs is beyond the scope of the link worker role e.g. when there is a mental health need requiring a qualified practitioner.
- Work with a diverse range of people and communities, to draw on and increase the strengths and capacities of local communities, enabling local VCSE organisations and community groups (including faith groups) to receive social prescribing referrals.
- Work together with all local partners to collectively ensure that local VCSE organisations and community groups are sustainable and that community assets are nurtured, by making them aware of small grants or micro-commissioning if available, including providing support to set up new community groups and services, where gaps are identified in local provision.
Key Tasks
- Promoting social prescribing, its role in self-management, and the wider determinants of health.
- Build relationships with key staff in GP practices within the local Primary Care Network (PCN), attending relevant meetings, becoming part of the wider network team, giving information and feedback on social prescribing.
- Be proactive in developing strong links with all local agencies to encourage referrals, recognising what they need to be confident in the service to make appropriate referrals.
- Work in partnership with all local agencies to raise awareness of social prescribing and how partnership working can reduce pressure on statutory services, improve health outcomes and enable a holistic approach to care.
- Provide referral agencies with regular updates about social prescribing, including training for their staff and how to access information to encourage appropriate referrals.
- Seek regular feedback about the quality of service and impact of social prescribing on referral agencies.
- Be proactive in encouraging self-referrals and connecting with all local communities, particularly those communities that statutory agencies may find hard to reach.
Provide personalised support
- Meet people on a one-to-one basis, making home visits where appropriate within organisations policies and procedures. Give people time to tell their stories and focus on what matters to me. Build trust with the person, providing non-judgemental support, respecting diversity and lifestyle choices. Work from a strength-based approach focusing on a persons assets.
- Be a friendly source of information about wellbeing and prevention approaches.
- Help people identify the wider issues that impact on their health and wellbeing, such as debt, poor housing, being unemployed, loneliness and caring responsibilities.
- Work with the person, their families and carers and consider how they can all be supported through social prescribing.
- Help people maintain or regain independence through living skills, adaptations, enablement approaches and simple safeguards.
- Work with individuals to co-produce a simple personalised support plan based on the persons priorities, interests, values and motivations including what they can expect from the groups, activities and services they are being connected to and what the person can do for themselves to improve their health and wellbeing.
- Where appropriate, physically introduce people to community groups, activities and statutory services, ensuring they are comfortable. Follow up to ensure they are happy, able to engage, included and receiving good support.
- Where people may be eligible for a personal health budget, help them to explore this option as a way of providing funded, personalised support to be independent, including helping people to gain skills for meaningful employment, where appropriate.
Support community groups and VCSE organisations to receive referrals
- Forge strong links with local VCSE organisations, community and groups, utilising their networks and building on what is already available to create a map or menu of community groups and assets. Use these opportunities to promote micro-commissioning or small grants if available.
- Develop supportive relationships with local VCSE organisations, community groups and statutory services, to make timely, appropriate and supported referrals for the person being introduced.

Build trust with the person, providing non-judgemental support, respecting diversity and lifestyle choices. Work from a strength-based approach focusing on a persons assets.
- Be a friendly source of information about wellbeing and prevention approaches.
- Help people identify the wider issues that impact on their health and wellbeing, such as debt, poor housing, being unemployed, loneliness and caring responsibilities.
- Work with the person, their families and carers and consider how they can all be supported through social prescribing.
- Help people maintain or regain independence through living skills, adaptations, enablement approaches and simple safeguards.
- Work with individuals to co-produce a simple personalised support plan based on the persons priorities, interests, values and motivations including what they can expect from the groups, activities and services they are being connected to and what the person can do for themselves to improve their health and wellbeing.
- Where appropriate, physically introduce people to community groups, activities and statutory services, ensuring they are comfortable. Follow up to ensure they are happy, able to engage, included and receiving good support.

People want to be able to access information and support in a setting that is convenient and familiar to them, delivered by people they trust.

The role will provide information and support to patients, whilst acting as a link between the patient, GP and other service providers.
The role will require managing and prioritising your own caseload in accordance with the needs, priorities and any urgent support required by individuals.

Job summary
We are recruiting a Social Worker to join our Patient and Family Support Team in the North-West. Working across our Liverpool Hospice, community settings and local hospitals, you will provide responsive social work and bereavement support to people with life-limiting or terminal illness, their families and those important to them.
Main duties of the job
This is a varied and fast-paced role where no two days will be the same. Working alongside colleagues across the hospice, community and local hospitals, you will respond flexibly to changing needs while providing compassionate, person-centred support. You will advocate for patients and families, help people navigate complex decisions and services, and support safe, well-planned transitions of care.
About us
Marie Curie is the UKs leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement.Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness theyre likely to die from.
The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life.Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.
