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.

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.

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.
