About the role
You will work with the Exeter STaR (System Treatment and Recovery) team on a project delivering intensive and holistic support to individuals experiencing addiction and homelessness. The STaR project is a really exciting opportunity to deliver the type of intensive support that our clients with complex problems deserve.
As a member of the STaR team you will have the time and space to establish strong therapeutic relationships with your caseload of clients, you will work closely with the projects GP and Clinical Psychologist so you can support the client to address the sorts of physical and mental health challenges that often get in the way of peoples recovery. You will have access to personal budgets that can be used by you and your clients to rediscover fun in clients lives. You will work with housing and homelessness experts inside and outside the team to help clients find and keep a home. By working diligently and proactively, as part of an integrated multi-agency team, you will apply intensive and co-created recovery solutions, enabling health & well-being improvements that are meaningful and sustainable. The existing STaR team members are inspiring and motivating supporting positive change for some of the most vulnerable people in Exeter.

You will work in a multi skilled team based in Exeters multiagency hub, CoLab, where you will be able to ensure the clients can access support that will help them address multiple support needs.

STaR works to a Strength-Based Approach focusing on individuals and community assets, you will work with the client, family / friends, the team and our wider network of partners to build a network of support around the client.

The successful applicant will care deeply about addressing social injustice, will be resourceful, able to articulate themself appropriately on behalf of the service users and resilient to change and challenges. If you are the successful candidate, you will be part of an exciting project that will bring immediate and new opportunities for recovery and health improvement to a particularly marginalised group of people. To support this, you will have access to high quality management support: and you will be able to draw on the Teams expertise in medicine, psychology and homelessness. You will participate in weekly multi-disciplinary clinical meetings with a focus on shared risk management and psychological formulation; you will be provided with regular psychologist-led reflective practice; and psychologist led one-to-one clinical supervision and professional development. You will have access to supplementary training: and be invited to contribute to the project learning and evaluation group.
