This job is now closed
Job summary
Please note interviews will be held face to face. Date of interview to be confirmed.
Chesterfield and Dronfield PCN have conducted a pilot to effectively triage patients at the first point of referral. Due to the success of the pilot the triage and referral coordinator role has been created to work within the Social Prescribing Team.
The post holder will be joining a well established, dynamic and friendly team of 8 Social Prescribing Link Workers. The role will work closely with the Social Prescribing Lead to discuss complex cases and develop approaches to link with statutory services providers with a view to support patients.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will review all referrals to the Social Prescribing Service and assess their appropriateness for the service. The post holder will engage with all new referrals, with a view to link them to suitable services, support and community activities at the first opportunity.
It is vital that the post holder has a strong awareness and understanding of when it is necessary to refer people back to other health professionals, when what the person needs is beyond the scope of the link worker role.
The post holder will be responsible for gathering and monitoring feedback from patients about their experience of the social prescribing service.
The post holder will develop good collaborative relationship with the social prescribing link workers and the GP practices to monitor and improve appropriateness of referrals.
