Residential Project Worker
The Project Worker role is designed for someone who has a passion for working face to face with young people with complex needs who have experienced homelessness.
You will work as part of a team to provide support to young people aged 16-21 years in a 24 hours staffed hostel.
You will engage young people in their own support to develop skills that will enable them to resettle into the wider community and sustain settled accommodation. You will undertake multi-agency work to support young people to access other services in line with their needs and goals for the future. You will be based in a 24/7 support service working on a rota basis – this includes evening and weekends as required. The role will require some bank holiday working too.
You will be the first point of contact for young people and also manage a case load where you will provide one-to-one support by tailoring the support to their individual needs. We aim to support young people to find employment, undertake training, cultivate positive social circles and develop the necessary skills to maintain accommodation and independence, ultimately avoiding a return to homelessness.
