Crynodeb

We are excited to be recruiting into our High Support team in a busy but rewarding city centre-based housing project for vulnerable young people. If you have the skills to support a small case load, and the skills and desire to help coach colleagues you will be line managing, we want to hear from you.

Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is at 23:59 on Wednesday 17 September 2025.

We are striving to better represent the young people we support and therefore are particularly keen to increase applications from minoritized ethnic groups and male candidates as they are currently under-represented in our organisation. We also encourage applications from people with relevant lived experience.

If you need an adjustment to be made to any part of the recruitment process, please let us know as soon as possible.

Who are we?
We are a leading youth homelessness charity based in the Southwest, working with over 1,500 young people. At 1625IP we are driven by Social Justice and Passion: we strive to do something that matters and take pride in seeing the results of our work in social outcomes and improving young people’s lives.

What you will be doing:
• Providing a high quality, proactive and robust package of support to two young people in the community.
• Providing line management support to our Weekend Housing Workers and Reception and Support Administrator, supporting, and empowering them in their work.
• Supporting the Service Manager to recruit and induct new colleagues, including leading on the recruitment of Relief Workers.
• Leading in managing the rota and shifts cover.
• Using your problem-solving skills, you will help support the team to ensure the safety and security of the scheme and those within, managing challenging behaviour.
• You will be well organised, able to prioritise, manage your own workload and respond to crises as required.

You will be based in St. George’s House Team and your line manager will be the St. George’s House Manager, Federica Ventura.
At 1625IP we are led by our Competency Development Framework. This connects our values to our behaviours in everything we do and gives us the tools to develop. The framework ensures our recruitment is better informed, applications and interviews are behaviourally based, and job profiles are developed on the ‘how’ of a job.

If you have transferrable skills and you are interested in this role, but you are worried about the application process, please get in touch with the recruiting manager to discuss how your personal or professional experience and skills could be transferred to this role.

Equitable opportunities for everyone

As an organisation who safeguard and promote the safety and welfare of children, young people and adults at risk, any job offer will depend on a satisfactory DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. We comply fully with the DBS code of practice and undertake to treat all applications for positions fairly. For successful candidates with a criminal record, a risk assessment process will take place with the recruiting manager.

We also pride ourselves on being an equitable opportunities employer for everyone regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, religion and beliefs, sex and sexual orientation. We have committed to being a Disability Confident Employer, and have made the Menopause Workplace, Mental Health at Work, and Bristol Equality Charter pledges.
