Mental Health Social Prescriber
Make a difference
We are looking for someone to support people to take positive steps to improve the way they manage their mental wellbeing and day-to-day lives, based on what matters most to them.
Taking referrals from GP practices, you’ll work with child and adult mental health patients to identify what is affecting their health and wellbeing. You’ll then work with them to create a personalised support plan to improve resilience, health and wellbeing. You’ll find services and activities that offer practical, social and emotional support, working as a team with other healthcare professionals who may provide more traditional medical interventions.
This might mean connecting people with art classes, walking groups or gardening clubs, or it could be signposting to more practical support, such as services providing advice on debt or housing issues. It’s essential that you can listen carefully, build relationships, and motivate people to make choices and changes about the things that matter to them.
The position is based in Sheppey and applicants must have experience of working with adults or children in a medical or social care setting, and of providing mental health support. You should be organised, self-motivated and able to work as part of a team and on your own. Car driver essential.
