twelve Primary Care Networks.
Since early December 2021 ABC have led the way in mobilizing the COVID-19 vaccination programme and have delivered over 100 000 vaccinations to date. Ensuring equity of access is a core part of ABCs values and we have ensured vaccine delivery to those who may not access major sites or use online booking since the start of the program. As we have progressed through the cohorts, we have identified multiple disadvantages the cohorts need. our need from delivering vaccines have since taken more targeted approach to address health inequalities and provide NHS health care checks and Equity wellbeing checks and we are looking to appoint an equity engagement advocate to support this essential work, building on the trust and attract new cohort by providing excellent engagement techniques.
We are building on the learning from the vaccine programme
to pilot a new mobile vehicle, which forms part of the existing
Crawley Programme. This unit will go out to the streets of Crawley offering cardiology and respiratory testing, with a view to reach those in the most deprived areas of Crawley, and increase screening uptake, helping the Crawley population live well for longer.
You will be driving the Mobile Van from ABCs base in Horley to a weekly set location daily. Upon arrival you will be responsible for setting the van up, ie. Putting the staircase up and unloading the van. The SASH team will meet you at the location and will be using the van to deliver their respiratory and cardiology service. Your role will be to engage with booked patients and also reach out to local vulnerable communities, such us homeless and promote this service and the equity services.
The ideal candidate will understand the local area, experience of working for the NHS in an engagement or advocacy capacity, strong communication skills and a positive and resourceful attitude with empathy being one of the most important core values. You
will be well supported with a strong team of Coordinators, Managers, Clinical Leads and good connections to community
engagement and link worker teams and resources. This should be a fulfilling and enjoyable role.
The post is likely to involve some evening and weekend working to support outreach sessions, hours will need to be worked flexibly but overtime will be paid for anything over 37.5 hours per week.
