We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Regis GP partnership where we have a team of Social prescribers. We have an exciting opportunity to recruit admin support for these Social Prescribers who cover the 9 GP practices in the Regis area. The role of a Social Prescriber involves supporting clients to link with community services, working with clients to navigate their way around Health, Social Care and Voluntary Sector Services to access community based solutions to improve their quality of life.

The admin involves supporting the Social Prescribers (SP) with the overall administration for the service. This will include inputting client information from referrals and outcomes from social prescribing coordinators on to a data base, contacting clients to arrange assessments, carry our monitoring and evaluation and sending out information to clients. You may also triage some of the referrals over the phone and support the social prescribers with their case load for some of the less complex clients

We are looking for an enthusiastic person who enjoys working with people to enable them to adopt an independent lifestyle. You need to be organised with good administration and communication skills and the ability to work on your own as well as part of a team.
