Role
Service and Role Profile
The Tackling Inequalities and Improving Outcomes (TIIO) Project, based within the Social Inclusion Project Falkirk, works with individuals aged 16+ years who reside within the Falkirk Council area and who are either on a current statutory order with Falkirk Criminal Justice Service such as a Community Payback Order or a Structured Deferred Sentence, subject to post – release supervision licences such as Parole / non-parole licence or referred via the CJS Diversion from Prosecution Scheme. Engagement with the TIIO Project is voluntary.
The Social Inclusion Project (SIP) supports people who use alcohol and drugs and have backgrounds of offending or other particularly challenging behaviour, to access existing services, referred by partner organisations. The Social Inclusion Project (SIP) model complements the work of existing agencies/services by supporting people to interact with services when their complex needs (such as substance use, homelessness, mental health illness, learning disability, welfare benefits issues, social isolation and / or family dysfunction) present barriers for their access to care. The collaborative approach between the Social Inclusion Project (SIP) and existing services is proven to deliver an effective means by which people can access services which they might otherwise struggle to interact with.
The post holder will have a supervisory role for the TIIO Project and SIP Falkirk Project Workers and will work directly with the service user to enable their access to an integrated pathway across universal services including the ‘Third Sector’ and wider Health & Social Care services.
