Summary
You will be based within our dedicated PCN hub in Williton Hospital, working alongside a dynamic, friendly team including our Clinical Director, PCN Manager, pharmacy team, and a well-established social prescribing workforce(Care Coordinators, Village Agents, and Health Coaches). You'll also be integrated into our innovative 'Living Better' complex care service, alongside a Complex Care GP and specialist nursing team, offering you rich opportunities for collaboration, creativity, and impact. Co- located within the hospital but also working within GP surgeries, you will have the opportunity to work in a truly neighbourhood-based service, built around continuity of care, cross-team trust, and shared purpose. Referrals are streamlined through a single point of access, and we maintain regular MDTs to ensure all voices are heard and care is coordinated. This is not just another PCN post - it's a chance to join a supportive, open, and forward-thinking environment where your professional input will be valued, your wellbeing actively promoted, and your development nurtured. We regularly hold wellbeing and professional development days, and we pride ourselves on a warm team spirit, mutual respect, and -yes - a healthy dose of humour. We're also proud to have embedded a Children and Young Persons Mental Health Practitioner, who has successfully helped develop a bespoke, community-rooted service within our neighbourhood. This demonstrates our commitment to innovation, staff-led service development, and responsive care. Crucially, like the post advertised, the CYP role is joint-funded, and we already have experience in navigating the unique challenges and benefits that this funding model presents. You'll be stepping into a PCN that understands what's required for success in this kind of integrated role - and supports it.
