Role

Are you passionate about helping people improve their health and wellbeing through community support?

If so, this role in our Falkirk Community Link Service may be the perfect opportunity for you.

About the service

The service works with people who are experiencing challenges such as poor health, social isolation, financial pressures, or difficult life circumstances, supporting them through GP practices in Falkirk East and Falkirk Central. It focuses on early, practical help by offering personalised support conversations that look at the whole person, not just their immediate health concerns.

The aim is to help people feel more confident, supported, and connected within their local community. By working closely with individuals, the service helps them find and access the right local support, build resilience, and take positive steps towards improving their overall wellbeing and quality of life.

About the role

This role works within GP practices to support people to improve their wellbeing through practical, person-centred support and strong links to community services. You will help connect healthcare with local resources so people can access the right support at the right time.

Key aspects of the role include:

  • Building trusting relationships to understand people’s needs and goals
  • Supporting people to access local services and community-based support
  • Working with GP teams and partner organisations to improve joined-up support

About you

We are looking for someone who is confident working with people facing complex challenges, and who can build trust and support positive change in a person-centred way.

Key requirements include:

  • Experience supporting people in challenging or complex situations
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to build trusting and supportive relationships
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with good organisation and professional boundaries

How we’ll support you

You’ll be joining a small but experienced and knowledgeable team who will give you full introduction to all aspects of Community Link Service.

You’ll have a supportive manager as well as access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness by taking a values-led and relationships-based approach to delivering our services. You can find out more about our values and our impact online.
