Social Prescribing Worker (Job Ref 25-12)
Permanent – 35 hours per week - £25,769.57 pro rata per annum.
Based at Mutley Plain, Plymouth
Ready for a challenge? This exciting project will utilise your youth work skills and give you an opportunity to develop new networks and connections – all to help young people achieve better outcomes in Plymouth.
We’re excited to be delivering this pilot project, supported by Active Devon and Plymouth City Council, to help young people (aged 11-18) engage with positive activities which will improve their health and happiness.
If you can find creative ways to engage young people, have experience of working in, and developing partnerships, especially alongside schools, then we’d love to hear from you. We’ll give you the chance to work in a supportive environment on a project that’s about learning, not targets – all with the opportunity for flexible working and a great holiday allowance thrown in!
