We are looking to recruit a Navigator who will provide holistic, person-centred support to Barnsley Futures’ service users to address multiple needs, such as:
- supporting people to achieve outcomes through navigating access to external services and support; and
- providing flexible and focused support to service users, with continuity in the relationship between the Navigator and service user, as they may journey through different accommodation options including hostels, managed dispersed accommodation and their own homes.
The successful candidate will adopt a Housing First approach, ensuring that, wherever possible, people enter the service at the lower end of the stepped care pathway and the number of times people move accommodation is minimised.
Barnsley Futures
Barnsley Council is reshaping its support services to move away from the delivery of ‘housing related support’ to an holistic outcome focused provision, able to support service users with multiple needs. People with multiple needs have several problems at the same time, such as homelessness, offending, mental ill health and substance misuse. They live chaotic lives with multiple problems exacerbating each other.
Interserve, through its West Yorkshire Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) is leading a partnership with Foundation and Touchstone to deliver a new Barnsley Futures service. Barnsley Futures will support service users who have committed high risk offences (including MAPPA offenders), have experienced repeat homelessness and rough sleeping and those not engaged with substance misuse treatment or mental health services. Our six service principles are recovery focused, integrated and multi-disciplinary, strengths and asset-based, person- centred, co-produced and trauma-aware.
Barnsley Futures will deliver appropriate and effective support to service users who may have been unable to access or achieve outcomes within ‘traditional’ support services, due to the range, level and complexity of their presenting needs. It will deliver person-centred support to enable the service user to achieve successful independent living.
