Project Description

At The Wallich, we strive to create psychologically informed environments (or PIEs) for our service users to successfully engage with services – taking into account their history and experiences prior to engaging with us.

We recognise that people experiencing homelessness disproportionately tend to have had adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) or trauma.

Unresolved trauma will shape someone’s view of the world.

Their behaviour, which is often a trauma reaction, is usually labelled as complex or multiple needs.

Compared to the general population, people with one or more ACEs are more likely to:

-Become homeless

- Experience poor mental health

- Have poor physical health

- Use substances

- Have involvement in the criminal justice system

However, just because someone has experienced trauma in their past, they should not be defined by this, but it should be considered by services, and taken into account when offering support.

Purpose of Role

The Asset Coach will walk alongside individuals experiencing challenging times, so they can take control of their life and thrive within their community. They will do this using a PTS (Person-led, Transitional & Strengths-based) Response model in partnership with its developer, Mayday Trust and Welsh provider, Platfform.

This role is subject to an Enhanced DBS check
