Job Introduction
Do you want to meet the needs of the most vulnerable people who repeatedly fail to be noticed? If so, join us

Changing Futures Sussex was awarded a Changing Futures grant to improve the way local systems and services work for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage.

The Programme aims to create an environment where individuals experiencing multiple disadvantage can receive flexible, trauma-informed, person-centred support when they need it, leading to increased periods of stability and more opportunities to make positive changes in their lives.

The Changing Futures Sussex Programme focuses on meeting the needs of the most vulnerable people who repeatedly fall through the net, working alongside people with lived experience of multiple disadvantage, to achieve positive changes in services to make them better connected and easier to access.

To achieve this, we are embedded and are part of the three Sussex County and Local Authority Areas:
East Sussex, West Sussex, and Brighton & Hove.

Multiple disadvantage, or multiple complex needs, is defined by the national Changing Futures Programme as people who experience three or more of the following: homelessness, current or historical offending, substance misuse, domestic abuse, and mental ill-health.

Experience we are looking for:

Social work qualifications and registered with the professional regulatory body.
Level 1 Practice Educator Professional Standards, equivalent or willingness to undertake.
Supervision skills.
Communicating with adults where there is complexity.
Managing workload independently.
Demonstrable effective judgement, identifying, assessing and managing risk.

Interview date to be confirmed.

Information about our diverse range of benefits can be found on our benefits page.
