Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (LGT) is hosting this advert on behalf of Lewisham Primary Care Networks (PCNs). Please note that LGT is not the employer for this role.



This role is available across two Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in Lewisham:



Modality Primary Care Network

Successful candidates will be employed by one of the above PCNs and aligned to a neighbourhood-based INT. Please indicate your preferred PCN(s) or neighbourhood(s) in your application. Final placement will be based on service need and candidate suitability.



Are you passionate about making healthcare more inclusive and community-centred? We are looking for Community Link Workers to join the newly launched Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) in Lewisham, with roles available across three Primary Care Networks (PCNs).



This role will be vital in building trust between local communities and healthcare services, particularly for residents facing barriers to care. You'll work closely with faith groups, voluntary and community organisations (VCSEs), and health teams to strengthen access, reduce inequalities, and champion health equity across Lewisham.



The Lewisham Health and Care Partnership is committed to creating a sustainable health and care system that supports both physical and mental wellbeing. Our Integrated Neighbourhood Teams bring together NHS services, primary care, social care, and the voluntary sector to provide coordinated, community-based support.



Modality Lewisham provides patient-centred primary care across central and south Lewisham, following the merger of several local practices. We focus on accessible, high-quality services, and personalised health support. As part of the Modality Partnership, we uphold NHS values while improving outcomes for our diverse local community.



Aplos Health PCN is a collaborative network of four GP practices in south and west Lewisham, serving over 50,000 patients. We deliver integrated, community-focused care, addressing health inequalities through innovative services like youth wellbeing clinics and digital hubs. Our multidisciplinary team is committed to improving health outcomes and empowering local residents.
