Role

Edinburgh Council and R2 members are coming together to recruit a co-ordinator for a new initiative, Team Around the Community (TAC), in north Edinburgh. Team Around the Community (TAC) aims to create a place-based, partnership approach to respond at the earliest stage of need and prevent escalation for children and their families. TAC works together with the council, health, justice and voluntary sector services, to notice and listen to what people need and respond collaboratively. This is built on trust in professional judgement and expertise, to empower families and build capacity. In north Edinburgh, TAC will initially focus on 3 primary schools and one early years centre in and around the Pilton area.

The role will involve working closely with the R2 network members and Council staff to develop this approach in north Edinburgh. We expect the co-ordinator to map support available to families in the described area and based on what is found develop a plan for implementation. The focus of this will, initially, be about bringing relevant practitioners together to support relational practice.

This role is funded by Edinburgh Council and will be hosted by MYDG (Muirhouse Youth Development Group) for one year initially.
