Do you enjoy the challenge of working with clients experiencing multiple disadvantages? Are you an autonomous and innovative practitioner? Are you interested in joining a multi-agency cross-sector partnership team?
The Link Team works with individuals experiencing multiple disadvantage, including complex mental health difficulties and homelessness, and who face significant barriers to accessing and engaging with support. We are seeking a motivated practitioner who can demonstrate the relational skills required to reach and assertively engage with those furthest from services. The successful candidates will be working within the Link Team and alongside a range of agencies to find creative solutions for individuals, which includes assisting and challenging existing practices, sharing learning and helping to influence the way services are designed and delivered. The Link Team’s approach is underpinned by our core values which have been co-produced by the team.
The Link Team is funded by NHS England and is a multi-agency partnership including Second Step, St Mungos, Bristol Drugs Project, AWP Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust and Bristol City Council. The team has an intergated multi-disciplinary model, including engagement workers, a peer worker, a mental health practitioner (band 6), a social worker, and a team manager. The service is designed to complement rather than replace or supersede existing local provision. The Link Team aims to improve engagement for the people we work with, creating a bridge between individuals and the wide range of expertise across the system, whilst providing person-centred, trauma-informed care at every stage of their journey.
