Job opportunity at 3SG in partnership with The Active Way - Social Prescribing Project Manager Previous Job Next Job Background information Social prescribing, also sometimes known as community referral, is a means of enabling professionals to refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services. Recognising that people’s health and wellbeing are determined mostly by a range of social, economic and environmental factors, social prescribing seeks to address people’s needs in a holistic way. Social prescribing connects people to community-based and community-led social, practical and emotional support, as well as statutory services. Community-centred ways of working can be more effective than more traditional services in improving the health and wellbeing of marginalised groups and vulnerable individuals. For this reason, they are an essential way of reducing health inequalities within a local area or communities. Social prescribing is also one of the key practices in the NHS Long Term plan (2019) to help the NHS shift to a new service model focused on personalised care to give individuals greater control over their own health and care and encourage collaboration between GPs, their teams and community services. The role: In Bath & North East Somerset (B&NES), we have some excellent and innovative examples of social prescribing, and are looking to build upon this by developing a shared vision and strategic framework for social prescribing across the area that enables clarification, alignment and the opportunity to collaborate effectively. We are looking to recruit a passionate and skilled professional to lead the development of our shared vision and framework and to lead the work that will underpin and support delivery of the framework. This will include scoping and mapping the current social prescribing offer in B&NES, and identifying service duplication, inconsistencies in provision, gaps and unmet needs, and what is required to address them. It will also include bringing partners and communities together to inform the development of a shared vision and framework, and undertaking work to support the delivery of the framework in practice, including identifying opportunities and making the case for funding. The postholder will be expected to advocate for social prescribing and the Third Sector, and to engage partners in supporting and utilising existing social prescribing opportunities such as those provided via the Community Wellbeing Hub, The Active Way and Wellbeing College.* The postholder will require a combination of strategic skills to support the development of social prescribing at system level, and operational skills to support the delivery of the framework in practice. * B&NES Community Wellbeing Hub provides a central place for residents to access a range of support to improve their health and wellbeing through Third Sector partners and healthcare services. Residents can self-refer or be referred to a wide range of Third Sector, community services, and specialist triage to support identification of needs and services that can help in a multidisciplinary way. The Active Way is a three-year pilot to promote social prescribing to active travel interventions, such as walking and cycling groups, adapted bikes, cycling skills and maintenance, and the use of digital technology and mentoring to support behaviour change. The Wellbeing College is a platform that signposts residents to free wellbeing related courses and/or interventions in B&NES. Key responsibilities: Strategic and coordination role: Lead and coordinate the development of the social prescribing framework for B&NES and the work required to achieve this (see below). The framework will outline the vision for social prescribing in B&NES and how it will be achieved.

Undertake scoping and mapping to capture the current social prescribing offer in B&NES, including services, roles and responsibilities. Undertake gap analysis to identify service duplication, inconsistencies in provision, unmet needs, areas for improvement, including how a social prescribing offer for young people can be supported. Work with partners across the system to facilitate their engagement in strategic and operational discussions, and commitment to the shared vision and framework. Build understanding and awareness of what is required to support the effective provision of a social prescribing offer, and how social prescribing aligns with key system priorities, such as Integrated Neighbourhoods, prevention and reducing inequalities. Bring key stakeholders and leaders together for meetings and workshops to understand the current landscape and progress the framework. This includes leading the coordination of the multi-partner Social Prescribing Steering Group. Lead work with communities to ensure they are a key voice in informing the development of the framework and the work required to underpin and deliver it. Champion the Third Sector as a core partner in social prescribing and ensuring the sector has the tools to be central to growth. Work with partners across the system to identify and make the case for additional or alternative funding opportunities to provide the social prescribing infrastructure and offer required to enable the B&NES vision to be realised. Develop high quality proposals and bids related to this. Make good use of the evidence base to support evidence based strategy and practice. Engagement role with social prescribers: Pro-actively engage with social prescribers to promote the Community Wellbeing Hub offer (including the Active Way) in relation to social prescribing, including what interventions social prescribers can refer patients to and how. Showcase the outcomes and impact of the social prescribing offer to support engagement of social prescribers. Work with the Community Wellbeing Hub Partnership and the Active Way Hub Manager to ensure they are aware of opportunities or challenges to engagement by social prescribers. Project management role: Produce written reports, briefings and Powerpoint slides for presentation at the multi-partnership Social Prescribing Steering Group.

Avon Needs Trees Brief Description of Organisation Avon Needs Trees is a registered charity creating new, permanent woodland throughout the Bristol-Avon catchment to fight the climate and ecological emergencies. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Avon Needs Trees is a registered charity creating new, permanent woodland throughout the Bristol-Avon catchment to fight the climate and ecological emergencies. We fundraise to buy land to create woodlands that will stand for generations, locking up carbon, boosting local biodiversity, and providing natural flood management as well as publicly accessible green space where appropriate. ANT was founded in 2019 by environmentalist Nikki Jones and a small band of volunteers. They were concerned by how deforested our area had become and that no charity existed to buy land in our catchment to guarantee the permanence of new woodlands. Since our formation in 2019, we have had two incredibly successful projects in Wiltshire, purchasing two sites of 47 acres, planting and caring for 22,000 native trees with the help of hundreds of volunteers from local and surrounding communities. In 2023 we started planting Great Avon Wood ; a ground-breaking partnership with the Forest of Avon Trust. With over 100 acres of land and 40,000 trees to plant and care for this is our most ambitious project yet. We have also planted Ed Woods , our first Land Partnership venture, which means we are working with the site landowners to create permanent woodland. https://www.instagram.com/avonneedstrees/ https://twitter.com/AvonNeedsTrees https://www.facebook.com/AvonNeedsTrees Avon Needs Trees Brief Description of Organisation Avon Needs Trees is a registered charity creating new, permanent woodland throughout the Bristol-Avon catchment to fight the climate and ecological emergencies.
