About this role

This is a new post, which will play a key role in developing and embedding our signposting pathways – and an opportunity to play a pivotal role in improving outcomes for the people using our service.

The Community Signposting Worker will provide person-centred, trauma-informed support to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship (taking a "What Matters to You" approach) and empowering people as active agents in their own journey while also contributing to the development of new ways of working, improved outcomes, and stronger partnership integration.

The postholder will improve how we record and use signposting data through our E-referral system (DCS), and train and build the confidence of volunteers to take on a sustained signposting role when the funding ends. A key part of this role is bringing volunteers on the journey building their confidence and capability in signposting.

This is a time-limited, developmental role, designed to support both service delivery and system change.

In return, we offer excellent terms and conditions including a generous pension scheme and health related benefits, as well as training and learning opportunities. You will be a key contributor to the work of the Trust, supporting the delivery of our strategic and operational plans. This post will be predominately office based with flexible working arrangements available subject to operational requirements.
