Crynodeb
This role entails meeting clients (referred in or met via outreach) at community venues and delivering a health assessment including some clinical tests, for which full training will be provided. Based on the assessment as delivered, the successful candidate will identify health needs based on an initial health assessment, create comprehensive and bespoke plans to address any health navigation needs, and support them to address these issues in whatever manner this may take. The candidate will liaise with partner agencies (most commonly including GP services, addictions services, mental health services etc) to ensure an adequate potential for positive outcomes for clients. The candidate will assist with the provision of health promotion events, including creating appropriate materials, organising and liaising with venues, facilitating these events and making appropriate decisions to signpost accordingly. The candidate will assist in in identifying health inequalities through asset based, holistic conversation methodologies. The role will include supporting clients to understand and manage their health goals through the provision of basic community therapeutic interventions and techniques. There are no line management responsibilities aligned to this post, however the candidate may take on additional responsibilities (to be discussed with line manager as part of career development opportunities) such as management of volunteers or induction of new starters as the service continues to develop. The candidate will work proactively to meet rising and emergent needs in the communities supported. The candidate will also maintain and develop their knowledge on key areas of information, such as developing changes in the illicit substance use communities. The candidate will use a personalised approach to care to support clients to seek and undertake appropriate support. The role will also require appropriate and effective data management of clients, including inputting information onto databases and supporting with reporting processes. The candidate will work with the wider wellbeing services and partners to apply asset based community development techniques and undertake research to support access to appropriate services. The role includes supporting the ongoing work delivered by the wider Adult Wellbeing Services, such as working co-productively in the delivery of community events (e.g. alongside Join the Dots at cancer-related health promotion events). The candidate will apply solution focussed problem solving to address the wider determinants of health including the four key clinical areas of health need, which are weight management, alcohol misuse, smoking cessation and severe mental illness. The candidate will also contribute to the knowledge and learning before, during and after projects as part of the Health Squad team.
