Social Prescribing Link Worker

In your role as Social Prescribing Link Worker, you will work as part of the Sedgefield North PCN Integrated Personalised Care Team, alongside our four Care Co-ordinators. The team is managed by a dedicated Team Leader and you will also have the support of a GP Mentor for SPLWs. The posts are hosted by St Andrews Medical Practice, Spennymoor, but will support patients across the five practices within the PCN.

You will work in a variety of venues in general practice and the community, including patients own homes. You will work collaboratively as part of our friendly personalised care team and also with our individual practices and with professional links across the SPLW community. Teamwork, flexibility, enthusiasm and the ability to prioritise tasks effectively are essential skills.

We are committed to the ongoing development of our team, which includes mandatory and developmental training for all our staff. Team members are encouraged to highlight any training they feel would benefit them in the achievement of their role.

Sedgefield North Primary Care Network is an innovative, dynamic PCN comprising 5 local GP Practices based in Spennymoor, Ferryhill & Chilton, Sedgefield and West Cornforth with a population of over 57,000 patients. We are continually seeking new ways to support and improve local healthcare services for our patient population.
