Job Purpose:

Sefton CVS in partnership with Cheshire & Merseyside ‘Health and Care Board’ are delivering a project working directly with Sefton residents who are regularly attending A&E, calling 999 and being admitted to hospital. This service has been expanded to include supporting those with serious mental illness, and those requiring support within a 48-hour response who will be referred by different pathways.

Using a very human and 1:1 coaching approach, a team of ‘Outreach & Intervention Worker’ will work with this client group to find out any underlying social or emotional reasons they attend A&E as well as other services, and find ways forward. The ultimate outcome is for this client group to feel better supported and reduce health inequalities. The natural by-product of concentrating on people and what they need, is a reduction in the number of emergency ambulance calls and unscheduled care interactions.

Our expectations of the ‘Outreach & Intervention Worker’ is that they will be a great negotiator, highly self-aware with strong emotional agility, are open and can adapt to situations with a focus on supporting positive behaviour change.
