Senior Children and Young People's Social Prescriber

Yorkshire Health Partners are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Children and Young Persons Social Prescriber to support the delivery and development of our high-quality Children and Young Persons Social Prescribing Service.

On a day-to-day basis you will empower young people between the ages of 11-18 to take control of their health and wellbeing through your skills in social prescribing - giving time and a safe space for them to have a focus on what matters to me. This holistic approach connects people to community groups and statutory services that provide emotional and practical support for patients their families and carers to take control of their health and wellbeing - live independently - improve their health outcomes and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

As well as empowering young people and managing a complex caseload, the Senior Children and Young Persons Social Prescriber will also be responsible for the line management of a team of Young Peoples Social Prescribing Link Workers, provide day to day support and contribute to training and mentoring, maintain accurate records and contribute to monitoring and reporting outcomes, and support quality improvement.

You will take referrals from the Primary Care Network and a wide range of agencies to support the health and wellbeing of patients. You will work closely with GP practices across the PCN, working alongside young people, supporting them to tackle loneliness, isolation, anxiety and depression by connecting them into a broad range of services and interventions to improve their health and well-being.

The work will be led by the wants and needs of the young people themselves and may need some flexibility in working hours to fit availability of the young person.
