COMMUNITY CONNECTOR, MOVING FORWARD CENTRAL NOTTS, SUTTON IN ASHFIELD, FRWK07 £20,133 – 21,866, PERMANENT, 37 HPW

The County Moving Forward team provides floating support to people with mental health issues who have a housing or financial support need.  There is currently a vacancy for a Community Connector within the team. 

What is a Community Connector?  It’s a key part of the service where we connect the people we support with any opportunity, service or activity in their local community that helps them stay resilient, gain knowledge and skills, and stay more independent. Many people we support are socially excluded and struggle to know how to access opportunities available to them. The aim is to help educate and empower people to gain the help they need in the community rather than returning to longer term support services.  Being able to be an active part of their community or just even know where to go to get something done – e.g. joining a social group - is a positive step in staying independent and well.

The Moving Forward Community Connectors research, build connections and maintain relationships with a wide range of projects, services and organisations within the area that they work and the wider county. From this resource of information we can support people to begin their journey – whatever that might be.  This could include becoming a volunteer, looking for training, making new friends – or learning new skills such as how to navigate the benefits system successfully, how to use the internet effectively or set up an email account - the list is endless. The skill of the community connector is to build interest, motivation and confidence in the person to create a better life for their future.

We work with people individually or in small groups to explore how they can build their confidence, together with skills and knowledge that will help them find a route to their own personal goals.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed person who can help people find their own solutions and aid them in planning a way forward. The successful candidate should be able to assess service users’ needs and offer viable options in a positive and safe way. The ability to design and deliver short, well planned and fun activities that engage socially excluded people is a must. The role will also advise and support core MF keyworkers to identify socially inclusive options for the people they support. The post holder would be expected to help recruit volunteer peer mentors and assist in their training and development. There is training available to achieve a Level 3 Award in Education and Training (RQF) qualification within 12 months. The post holder must have a current driving licence and access to a car.

What we offer: Life Assurance, Pension (up to 4% matched by FHA), Enhanced Maternity, Paternity and Adoption Benefits, Additional Annual Leave Purchase Scheme, Employee Assistance Programme, Learning programmes tailored to suit different roles and services, Health Cash Plan.

Our mission at YUSU is simple - we provide representation, opportunities and run services for all 18,000+ students at the University of York.

YUSU provides free, professional, independent and confidential advice and support to students at the University of York. Our Advice and Support Centre (ASC) is the Students' Union's one-stop shop for any student with academic or welfare concerns or experiencing difficulties with student life.

Working closely with partners at the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA), the University of York’s principal postgraduate representative body, we are recruiting two Academic and Welfare Development Coordinators to provide students with information, advice, support and representation on a wide range of academic and welfare issues.

This is an exciting time to join us, with both YUSU and the GSA currently reviewing the longer term advice service provision and how we can work to further improve our collective advice provision for all students.

Your work will range from in-depth case work and supporting students through University processes and policies, to one-off appointments; it can cover anything from academic progression and appeals issues to student misconduct or complaints. Your work is key in helping all students understand and exercise their rights, and to navigate challenging times or unforeseen events.

With responsibility for your own case work, you will be line managed by the Advice and Welfare Manager with one of the advisers working partly in the GSA, also reporting into the GSA CEO on postgraduate matters. You’ll work closely with student voice colleagues to ensure that the lessons from our advice work inform the Unions’ policy work. The role also includes working closely with key University services and departments and developing and maintaining working relationships with local referral partners and organisations. At present the ASC and GSA advice teams are largely working remotely; while this is likely to continue for the foreseeable future we envisage moving back to the dedicated YUSU student advice centre and GSA office on the University's Heslington West campus as soon as it is safe and practical to do so.

Applicants should be self-motivated with a proactive and flexible approach. The post holders will be able to present information clearly and concisely in writing and verbally, and be able to develop a clear working knowledge of a range of University policies and procedures. An understanding of advice work and ability to deal sensitively with enquiries from a diverse range of individuals, and manage potentially difficult or emotional situations calmly and confidently, is important.

2 positions are available x 1.0 FTE- one role is permanent; the other is a 3-6 month temp to perm role to be based with colleagues in our partner Union the GSA for 2 days each week.

Applications will close at midday on 25th January 2021

Interviews will take place on 29th January & 1st February 2021
