Summary
This role is delivered in partnership with the Changing Futures Programme.
We are looking for an individual who can lead on engaging ethnic minority communities, to raise awareness of Severe and Multiple Disadvantage (SMD) and feed back to system partners to develop better services for people with poor or limited access. SMD is defined as having three out of the five sources of disadvantage: homelessness, substance use, mental ill-health, domestic abuse, and contact with the criminal justice system.
People from minority ethnicities are under-represented on the Changing Futures caseload, particularly those from Asian and Asian British and White non-British communities. The programme needs provision for assertive outreach and community engagement into under-represented communities, to support the programme’s priority of ensuring that all people who experience multiple disadvantage have access to help they want and need. This provision will connect with voluntary, community and faith organisations to raise awareness of SMD and how it affects different people.
You will work with community leaders to co-produce effective engagement strategies; equipping leaders of the organisations and their volunteers to break down the stigma around SMD to deliver more effective outcomes. Our ideal candidate will have a track record of engagement with ethnic minority communities and community leaders. A background in or knowledge of SMD would be an advantage. This role will be supported by the Practice Development Unit based at NCVS, which shares good practice, learning and support to people working in this challenging arena.
People with lived experience of SMD are central to the Changing Futures programme. It is therefore important that your values reflect what people with lived experience of SMD want to see from those working in the programme.
