About us
We’re Southmead Development Trust, a charity made up of staff, volunteers and residents who work together to achieve our vision of a thriving community. We improve health, wellbeing, local pride, and employment. We bring business and investment to the area.
We partner with many, influence the future, and deliver world class services. We have a number of significant partnerships within our delivery of Health & Wellbeing services. We are piloting an innovative project with Adult Social Care which seeks to provide an individualised service by using our social prescribing and volunteer coordination expertise. This new Care Connect Southmead service will carefully match people in need of care and support with people who can provide this support, working on a self-employed or directly employed basis. This model increases the capacity of the community to meet care needs in a person-centred way, so individuals can feel their needs are being met safely and comfortably. The development of Introductory Services is part of a larger, city-wide strategic approach to developing community-owned and led services that help to fill care gaps, relieve pressure on the regulated care market and create new, local employment opportunities. This role will work pro-actively with the partnership group to further this approach.
