Role
The Community Link Worker programme in Inverclyde is funded by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Community Link Workers are based within GP Practices and they work across the community, third sector and public sector to support people to live well through strengthening connections between community resources and primary care.
Community Link Workers provide a service that is responsive to the needs and interests of GP practice populations, who are often living in an area affected by socio-economic deprivation. They support them to identify issues that affect their ability to live well.
Taking a person-centred approach, the CLW Assistant will support the wider team by providing additional support for identified individuals in relation to making applications and generic form completion (including applications for blue badges, MyBus etc), ad hoc practical activities and accompanying patients to appointments/resources when appropriate. Part of the role will also be in relation to administrative duties – maintaining the CLW resource database and liaising with partner organisations to keep up to date with local and national resources which enables the team to link patients to relevant resources across a wide range of issues. The CLW Assistant will also provide administrative support to the Lead CLW and will be involved in events, engagement and communications as required, including social media.
