Role
The Scottish Government promotes social prescribing as a way to reduce health inequalities. Social prescribing connects people attending GP or primary care services with local, often non-clinical, community resources.
Clackmannanshire and Stirling Health and Social Care Partnership (CSHSCP) has a Strategic Commissioning Plan focusing on prevention, early intervention, and reducing social isolation and loneliness. Investment in the Community Link Worker (CLW) programme aligns with this strategy, and we are seeking a new Community Link Worker to join the team in Clackmannanshire.
The Community Link Worker will work closely with practice staff to inform and connect service users to community resources, supported by CTSI/SVE, and will collaborate with local volunteer Community Health Champions.
The role involves helping people access local support from Third Sector organisations, aiding them in reconnecting and understanding how to improve and sustain their health and wellbeing.
