MARS Team

MARS is a Multi-Agency Rough Sleeper team, set up with funding from government to address street homelessness.

The MARS team is therefore a multi-agency team consisting of six intensive support workers, three outreach workers and a Coordinator, most working for Path but as a collaborative for the City.

The team is committed to working around the person (not the place) across outreach and accommodation provision to ensure more flexible, personalised and sustained support for rough sleepers moving off the streets. This intensive support is targeted at those most vulnerable to sleeping rough, providing consistency of support and engagement as people move from the street through a journey towards independent living in the community.

Coordinator role

The Coordinator oversees the MARS team, including supervising and supporting the intensive support and outreach functions.

The Coordinator is therefore integral to the setting up and running of this initiative, focusing on not only reducing numbers of people who are street homeless (to as close to zero as possible) but people vulnerable to sleeping rough having more and better options.

The Rough Sleeper (RS) Coordinator is therefore also a member of the A2A Management Group, overseeing the placing of rough sleepers and other homeless people in temporary accommodation. The role is part of Plymouth’s partnership work to address homelessness, working at all times with partners in The Plymouth Alliance and beyond.

Coordinator duties

The RS Coordinator manages the team and its work, including:

• Guidance, support, setting priorities for the team
• One-to-one support and supervision

• Ensuring active, accurate and timely record-keeping, including agreeing / developing systems and ensuring that recording is carried out thoroughly and efficiently

• Reporting, including meeting any and all contractual obligations for reporting, with a focus on understanding and meeting targets; this includes producing regular reports in line with and addressing all contract requirements and taking responsibility for all related communication.
• For the roles of the team/s this person manages, see below: MARS and RS Outreach.

A2A Management

One aspect of this post is constantly seeking accommodation to end or prevent a person being street homeless. That will usually be in temporary accommodation, access to which is via Plymouth’s A2A system, which is overseen by a small group of managers, the RS Coordinator being one. These managers oversee, prioritise and support access to and use of temporary accommodation overall.

MARS House

The MARS House is a shared house for people with complex needs and no other accommodation options. This is temporary accommodation but not necessarily short term. Members of the team visit daily to provide support and housing management but the Coordinator needs to:

• Manage referrals, sign ups and voids

MARS Team Duties

Below is information about the role of the MARS team, which this role manages. The team will:

• Provide the ‘support’ element of the existing Housing First pilot plan with Plymouth Community Homes and other landlords. The current shared supported accommodation offer does not suit some of the most complex and vulnerable of this cohort and this is a much needed alternative to enable any move on at all.

They can include: Reconnections; Support / referral into accommodation; Short-term case work, housing-related or regarding other relevant needs; Referral on to other services / support.
