The Role
The purpose of the role is to source and receive patient referrals from participating GP surgeries, other primary care health professionals and partners.

The organisational outcome is to reduce clinical /medical interventions over time and promote independence of those referred.
The role will work closely with the partners in South Leamington Social Prescribing Alliance.
The Alliance enables clinical professionals to prescribe another avenue of support for their patients instead of, or in addition to, conventional medication.
The post holder will be able to efficiently organise and manage their client’s case from referral and initial assessment, through to outcome.
