Engagement with the service will be voluntary and not associated with any mandatory requirements. It will dovetail into the existing collaborative outreach model of service which enable early intervention and access into critical services to ensure a smooth transition in to the community.

Furthermore, the post holder will be confident in networking, building relationships and capital and leading a Team of ‘Volunteer Community Connectors’.

The post holder will be expected to work in line with the Social Services and Well Being (Wales Act) 2014, and the Violence Against Women Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act 2015 to ensure safeguarding of individuals (adult and children) is at the heart of service delivery.
