Summary
About The Role
Imagine this…
A young person has just moved into West Farm after months of instability. They’re unsure, maybe guarded, but you start by cooking a simple meal together. Over time, you help them learn to budget, manage a tenancy, and rebuild confidence. You’re not just teaching skills, you’re helping someone believe they can thrive independently, while knowing they’ve got someone they can trust walking alongside them.
As an Independent Living Skills Coach, you’ll walk alongside them, helping them cook a meal, budget for bills, apply for college, or simply believe in themselves again.
What you’ll be doing
- Act as a coach and keyworker, co-creating 'My Journey' plans with young people.
- Build supportive relationships rooted in trust and respect.
- Deliver life skills sessions, activities and accredited programmes.
- Support young people before, during, and after they move on to independence.
