Work will flow from the practice(s) but the CLW will also provide support to clusters they are attached to. (See Appendix 4 for Job Description.) The programmes will work mainly with adults aged 16 and over and their families in areas of deprivation, along with population groups who experience significant social and health inequalities. The programmes will have the fundamental aim of providing support and building capacity at both individual and community levels.

Successful suppliers will be able to work collegiately, with existing partnerships and in forming new partnerships.

Successful suppliers will be responsible for areas including (but not exclusively): recruitment, line management of posts, and implementation of programme delivery. They will required to have relationships with the Commissioner (NHSGGC), GP practices (where staff will be located and work will flow from), GP Clusters and also a supplier delivering the Learning and Support package for Community Link Workers.
