About

Pathways Adviser

CfW+ Economic Inactivity Trailblazer Pembrokeshire

The role

Are you a natural communicator who thrives on building relationships in the heart of the community? We are looking for a Pathways Adviser to be the front-line face of Pembrokeshire’s Economic Inactivity Trailblazer.

Your mission is to find and engage the ‘hidden’ members of our community, individuals with disabilities, long-term health conditions, or caring responsibilities who are not currently accessing support. You will meet people where they are, in libraries, community hubs, and local centres, to provide a bridge back to confidence and opportunity. You will be working mostly in areas of greatest disadvantage in Pembrokeshire.

This is a chance to work at the very start of a person’s journey toward a better quality of life. You will be part of a supportive team where your community intelligence directly informs the health and wellbeing strategies designed by the Services Coordinator (Health and Wellbeing).

Collaboration

You will work directly with the Services Coordinator (Health and Wellbeing) to ensure a seamless transition for every person you meet. While you focus on the initial outreach and trust-building, you will work hand-in-hand with the Coordinator to align your community insights with structured health interventions and specialist wellbeing support. Together you will create a holistic pathway for those who need it most, helping people build the resilience and motivation required to move closer to employment or signposting them to suitable support for their needs.

Proactive outreach - actively identify and engage individuals who are economically inactive, with a particular focus on those experiencing social isolation in our communities, including areas of Pembrokeshire facing higher levels of disadvantage. Engagement activities will be both one-to-one and group activities.

Trust building - provide entry support through informal counselling and listening to understand an individual’s unique barriers.

Integrated care - collaborate closely with the Services Coordinator (Health and Wellbeing) to co-develop in-house provision and facilitate referrals into specialist programmes that support health management and build mental resilience.

Community presence - partner with local authority departments, social services, and third-sector groups to champion the Trailblazer project.

Resilience building – support individuals to move from isolation toward greater motivation and readiness through the design and delivery of targeted group engagement activities, alongside timely and appropriate signposting to relevant support services.
