Summary
We are excited to be recruiting into our Youth Education Service (YES). The Project Support Officer is a key role for our small functional skills provision. This is a varied role, and duties include day-to-day tasks to ensure the smooth running of our learning centre, database administration and providing crucial support during busy exam periods.
Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, 16 January 2026
We are striving to better represent the young people we support and therefore are particularly keen to increase applications from minoritized ethnic groups, Muslim, 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.
How we work
At 1625ip our work is rooted in Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) and Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP). Our Psychologically Informed Framework shapes how we build relationships, use our spaces, and support young people. This means we prioritise safety, trust, collaboration, and understanding the impact of trauma in every interaction. You don’t need prior experience in PIE or TIP to apply - we’ll support you to learn and develop these approaches in the role.
What you will be doing:
• Providing general administrative support to our YES Manager and a small team of YES Tutors.
• General tasks to ensure the smooth running of the YES centre such as Health and Safety checks and ordering stationery.
• Data entry and processing to support student related administration, invoicing and internal and external reporting
• Administrative tasks to support during exam periods
You will be in the YES team, and your line manager will be our YES Manager.
Our Competency Development Framework sits at the heart of how we work at 1625ip. It links our values with the behaviours we expect to see in everyday practice and supports colleagues to learn, reflect and develop. It also means our recruitment is grounded in behaviours, not just experience, so applications, interviews and job profiles all focus on how we work, not only what we do.
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 us. We encourage you to have an informal chat with the recruiting manager to discuss how your personal or professional experience and skills could be transferred to this role. Details of how you can do that are further down in this advert.
