Health and social care

We are looking for two Social Isolation Support Coordinators to join our team.

You will work with individuals and organisations to reduce social isolation and loneliness in the North Norfolk and Breckland District areas.

Working closely with community organisations and our Life Connectors you will work with clients to help identify the best support option available to meet their needs. You will also be responsible for recruiting and managing a team of volunteers able to help those who are isolated.

Even in less crisis-driven times the NHS deals with around 1 million patients every 36 hours, and we are all very much aware of the extra pressures brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Very occasionally however, something goes wrong and needs resolving. And it’s dealing with those rare instances that helps maintain the high standards of service within the NHS, which is where NHS Complaints Advocacy can help.

Everyone in the VCSE community should[JC1] [SN2]  be aware of the need for vigilance and protecting the vulnerable – and understand the requirements and implications of safeguarding.  Every VCSE organisation delivering charitable activities has a duty to safeguard volunteers, staff, hirers, adults, children and young people, participants and donors.

Unpaid carers are one of the priority groups that Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group is working to vaccinate now.  The CCG asks all of us for help in finding these unregistered carers to ensure they can be offered help and support when and where needed.
