Summary

Role overview

Do you want to make a difference in young people's lives?




Do you have experience in supporting young people, or are you looking to start a career in support work?




We may have just the role for you! Come and join a charity focused on people rather than profit.








The Role

We are recruiting for a Support Worker to join our Accommodation Based Services Team, supporting young people aged 16-25 in our
homes across Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean.




Our goal is to upskill young people living in our properties to be able to confidently live on their own, manage their life and
tenancies, and achieve an independent move on.

You'll be providing practical and emotional support to individuals living in our properties, and helping to promote a greater
level of independence, whilst being part of a team committed to creating and upholding positive change.




This role is full-time (39.375 hours per week) on a rota basis, including alternate weekends, based at our property in Cheltenham.
Part-time and bank hours are also available.





What You'll Do

* Provide guidance and support to enable young people to live independently
* Promote the rights and interests of the young people
* Protect them from danger, harm or abuse
* Liaise with other professionals and stakeholders, both internal and external.
* Help them with life skills such as budgeting, accessing relevant agencies, cookery, and so much more!




To be successful in this role, you'll need to be patient, kind, resilient and professional, with a calm and caring approach. You
will receive comprehensive training to ensure you are able to deliver support in a trauma informed way.

Whilst the role can be challenging at times, the rewards are incredible. You will see how your advice, knowledge and guidance can
have a tangible, positive impact on the young people's lives.

we need!
