Job summary

Cancer is one of the biggest contributors to inequalities in life expectancy, with people from the most deprived communities more likely to get cancer, be diagnosed at a later stage and die from the disease.

Addressing health inequalities is crucial for us to achieve high-quality healthcare for all. Primary care serves as the foundation of the healthcare system, being the first point of contact for most people seeking help. But unequal access to these services can perpetuate health inequalities. By addressing issues of access, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, gender, or geographic location, has an equal chance of comprehensive and timely care

Implementing Health, Recovery and Wellbeing Leads will begin to encourage healthy behaviours, awareness and prevention of cancers alongside identifying any barriers to and facilitate timely access to healthcare. They will also encourage the uptake of national cancer screening programme invitations and liver health checks by raising awareness in the hostels and day centres where they work.

Health, Recovery and Wellbeing Leads will work with clients to create a shared trauma informed health navigation plan. This will include

Current understanding of their health, their health goals.

Current challenges with accessing healthcare (e.g. overstimulation, finding certain environments/ language triggering or upsetting) tools/strategies to navigate this

Main duties of the job

The successful candidates will be offered training so that they have a good understanding of cancer screening, prevention and symptoms and can learn how to encourage people to speak up about possible symptoms, support them to seek advice from medical professionals and take up offers for national cancer screening programmes as well as local liver health checks and other locality-based programmes such as Targeted Lung Health Checks.
