As a Community Links Practitioner, you will be embedded both in a GP practice, and within the community that the practice serves. You will work with anyone, with any issue, who needs help – the only condition is registration at the GP practice in which you are based.

You will have the opportunity to create bespoke and innovative solutions in collaboration with the people you support, and to signpost ways for individuals to live well, on their own terms, in their own community. The support that you deliver is defined through close and non-judgemental relationships, and through a continual process of engagement with the local community.

You will make a difference to people’s lives by being there to help when they need you. There are no limits to the number of contacts you may have – if you can provide help, you can be there. You will contribute to easing pressures on the GP practice and will help to improve the wellbeing of the practice team. This role will allow you to become a valued member of the community and will contribute significantly to community wellbeing and resilience. You will help people to help themselves in surprising and creative ways.
