**About the Work and the team you will join**

Changing Futures is a city-wide programme led by Plymouth City Council, supported by the Plymouth

Alliance and financed through a national Government initiative from the Ministry for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and the National Lottery.

The Changing Futures Programme is aimed at improving outcomes for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage - including combinations of homelessness, substance misuse, mental health issues, domestic abuse and contact with the criminal justice system.

Working with 15 local partnerships across England, Changing Futures is testing new ways of bringing together public and community sector partners to help people change their lives for the better.

The Changing Futures Plymouth Team is made up of friendly, compassionate and driven individuals who are dedicated towards improving systems and services to be kinder, more trauma informed and more accessible for those that need them most.

Improving Lives Plymouth has been commissioned to build and employ a Team of both full time and part-time Peer Mentors and Researchers with lived experience of multiple disadvantages. The team includes the Project Manager and another Project Co-Ordinator who you would work closely alongside.

The Peer Researchers are undertaking work placements in a range of local partner agencies (which support people with complex needs) gathering stories of people within the system (appreciative enquiry) within these organisations and supported by a central research team within Plymouth City Council.

Improving Lives Plymouth are taking a lead on providing personal and professional development for all the Peer Researchers and through the emergent learning this creates we are focussing on Work Force Development.
