Job description: Arun & Chichester Citizens Advice deliver a Social Prescribing service to the Surgeries in the Littlehampton district.

Our service supports clients to improve their wellbeing through linking them with services, such as advice agencies, hobby/interest groups, gaining employment/volunteering and mental health support. We support anyone aged 18+ but in particular have many clients with chronic pain conditions or living with poor mental health.

The approach is always person-centred, so you’ll be required to adapt your delivery depending on your client’s needs, such as meeting them in the community, texting, being part of conference calls or writing letters on your client’s behalf. Casework can be completed whilst at home.

You’ll use techniques such as motivational interviewing to support your clients in their journey, as well as completing the NHSE training plan. You’ll need to build and maintain strong relationships with other organisations in the community and voluntary sector as well as statutory organisations.
