Job description

Are you passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives?
Do you want to play a pivotal role in empowering individuals to take control of their health and wellbeing? If you're a motivated, compassionate individual with a knack for building connections and promoting positive lifestyle changes, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

We’re excited to announce a fantastic opportunity to join our dynamic team in Southwest London. You’ll be helping to launch and shape an innovative Health and Wellbeing Coaching & Social Prescribing Service based at St Georges Hospital within the Red Cell Pain Management & Psychology department and you will be employed by Merton Connected - Merton Social Prescribing. In this role, you will be at the heart of a life-changing initiative, working with patients affected by sickle cell disease and thalassemia. You’ll be helping them connect to vital community services, manage their health, and reduce isolation.

About the Role:

As a Health & Wellbeing Coach and Social Prescriber, you will:

  • Use your coaching skills to support patients in developing self-management strategies, improving their health, and achieving personal goals.
  • Help reduce clinical workload by linking patients with local non-clinical services such as social activities, education, housing, employment support, and more.
  • Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams and local agencies to build a robust referral network, ensuring patients have access to comprehensive support.
  • Play a vital role in promoting the benefits of social prescribing and coaching to both clinical staff and patients, fostering a personalised care approach.

You’ll be joining a team committed to making lasting improvements in health outcomes, helping patients regain control of their lives, and offering support that goes beyond traditional medical treatment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Engage with individuals living with long-term health conditions and connect them with community-based services that address their holistic needs.
  • Offer one-on-one coaching sessions, helping patients identify goals and build self-confidence in managing their health and wellbeing.
  • Collaborate with local voluntary, social care, and health services to ensure a seamless patient experience.
  • Promote awareness of the social determinants of health, such as housing, employment, and social isolation, and help patients overcome these barriers.
  • Maintain accurate records of interactions and service delivery to contribute to evaluation and reporting.

What We Offer:

  • The opportunity to be part of an innovative, growing service that has celebrated its 7th year of transforming lives in the Merton area.
  • The chance to work with an inspiring, supportive team and a variety of partners across statutory, voluntary, and community sectors.
  • Ongoing professional development and training to stay up-to-date with the latest coaching and social prescribing practices.
  • A collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment, where your contributions will directly influence the health and wellbeing of the local community.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re seeking someone with:

  • 2+ years of experience in health coaching, motivational interviewing, counselling or a similar framework that supports individuals in making health, lifestyle and other changes.
  • A strong understanding of personalised care, person-centred approaches, and the ability to support self-management.
  • Proven experience working in multi-disciplinary teams across health, social care, and community settings.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with a diverse range of people.
  • A proactive and self-motivated approach, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.

More information about the role | How to Apply: 

  • 21 hrs per week - 3 days  - 9 - 5 pm - Monday Wednesday Friday
  • 1 year fixed term contract (with extension for another 11 months for the second part of the pilot; if the pilot is successful it might be funded for longer)
  • £ 32,964 per annum pro-rata - plus 5% pension, includes Outer London Weighting, generous annual leave and excellent training opportunities
  • Closing date for applications: Sunday 13th October 2024 (midnight)
  • Please ensure that you fill in your application using the job specification headlines. Please apply early to avoid disappointment, as it may close sooner.
  • Formal interviews will be held on Monday 21st October 2024
  • Applicants will be notified by email if they are to be invited for an interview a day before the interview date

 Join Us:

This is an incredible opportunity to be part of a transformative service, where your work will have a direct impact on improving the lives of people living with complex health conditions. If you’re ready to take on a rewarding role in an innovative environment, we’d love to hear from you!
