- Supporting delivery of relevant medicines optimisation, Network Contract DES, Investment and Impact Fund and QOF requirements.
- Providing education and training on therapeutics and medicines optimisation where appropriate.
- Working collaboratively with community pharmacy, secondary care, the Integrated Care Board and other local healthcare providers.
- Maintaining accurate and contemporaneous patient records following consultations and telephone contacts.
- Maintaining professional registration and keeping clinical knowledge and professional competence up to date.
- Working autonomously within professional boundaries and scope of competence while contributing effectively as part of the wider PCN team.
The role requires excellent clinical knowledge, strong communication skills and the ability to manage an autonomous clinical workload across a number of primary care settings.
The successful candidate will be a registered pharmacist with the General Pharmaceutical Council and will have strong therapeutic and clinical knowledge. An Independent Prescribing qualification, or relevant prescribing experience, is highly desirable.
Experience of working in primary care or general practice would be beneficial, alongside experience of medicines optimisation, clinical medication review and long-term condition management.

Posted 18 day(s) ago
Reference: 2383607
Job summary
Jurassic Coast Primary Care Network is looking for a compassionate and proactive Social Prescribing Link Worker to join our team on a permanent basis, working 22.5 hours per week.
You will help people improve their health and wellbeing by giving them time to talk about what matters to them and connecting them with practical, emotional and social support. This could include helping someone experiencing loneliness find a community group, supporting a carer to access local services, or connecting a person with housing or financial advice.
Working across our member practices and local communities in West Dorset, you will manage your own caseload, build trusting relationships and develop personalised support plans. Around 30% of your time will focus on community groups and social prescribing projects, giving you the opportunity to help strengthen local support and respond to unmet needs.
You will work alongside our Senior Social Prescribing Link Workers, wider PCN team, practice colleagues and community partners, with supervision and opportunities for ongoing development.
If you enjoy listening to people, building connections and helping individuals take positive steps towards better wellbeing, we would love to hear from you.

Support may involve helping someone build confidence, reduce isolation or access advice about housing, money, employment or caring responsibilities. You will follow up to see how things are progressing and adapt support as their needs change.
Alongside this, you will help develop and run community groups with our Senior Link Workers, build relationships with local organisations and identify where additional support is needed.
You will work closely with practice colleagues and the wider PCN team, keep clear records and capture feedback and outcomes to show the difference the service makes. Recognising safeguarding concerns and knowing when someone needs clinical or specialist support will be an important part of your work.
