The Changing Futures programme aims to improve outcomes for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage – including combinations of homelessness, substance misuse, mental ill health, domestic abuse and contact with the criminal justice system. 
 
Changing Futures Hartlepool will bring together local partnerships across heath, social care, substance misuse, housing, police, criminal justice and voluntary sectors to help people with the most complex problems regain control over their lives with the right support at the right time and aims to improve the life situation of adults who face multiple disadvantage, transform local services, and reinvent the way the system operates.
 
You will be part of a frontline team which works in a holistic way to support individuals experiencing multiple disadvantage to improve their circumstances based on their understanding of ‘what matters to me’.

You will be able to demonstrate a solution focused approach to resolving complex problems and have the confidence and resilience to deal with difficult situations.
