The post holder will use the ‘Trusted Person Model’, to ensure support is provided through people and services that they have current interaction with. Where no such contacts exist, the coordinator may be required to try and build a trusted relationship directly.

The Trusted Person Model has been developed with people who have lived experience of multiple disadvantage (a combination of homelessness, mental health issues, substance misuse, domestic abuse and offending behaviour). The model is still in development and the postholder will be expected to contribute to the further development of the model.

A description of the model is attached

The postholder will also be expected to participate in the Changing Futures programme in achieving its four visions:

1. Embed a Trusted Person Model to support people with multiple disadvantage to develop and maintain relationships with the people that they trust
2. Embed a trauma informed approach to support – not just at the front line but support whole organisations to operate in a trauma-informed way
3. Establishing mechanics across the system to support shared learning and address identified barriers
4. Embed co-production and co-design across the system

We are looking for an individual who is confident to work with adults with multiple disadvantage by using a trauma informed approach.

The ability to regularly travel around Cambridgeshire is required and experience of supporting adults with multiple disadvantage is preferred.

For more information, please review the Person Description attached.
