Bank Supported Housing Support Worker

Are you looking for a rewarding job with flexibility to work around your commitments, whilst making positive changes in young people s lives?

You will be offered available shifts (day, evening, night, weekends and bank holidays) in advance and at short notice you choose which ones you want to work.

Our mission is to help children and young people have a fair chance to be who they want to be. We do this by providing a safe home, increasing life skills and self-confidence, and improving emotional wellbeing and mental health.

We are looking for Bank Supported Housing Support Workers to join our team at Guildford Foyer supporting 34 young people aged 16-25 who have multiple and complex needs, including many who are unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people. The service is staffed 24 hours a day with a support team, night team and management based onsite. The service provides wraparound support so that our residents can get the emotional support, life skills and help back into education, training or employment to enable them to 'move on' successfully to independence.

Our Bank Support Worker roles are similar to our Support Workers roles, but they work on a more flexible, temporary basis they are great way into the organisation and can be a stepping stone into other roles.

In this rewarding role you will work proactively and creatively alongside young people providing support, guidance, and signposting around areas such as housing, budgeting, living skills, jobs and relationship building. You will contribute to the smooth and safe running of the services by providing consistency and reliability.

You will ideally have experience of working with a similar client group and a good understanding of the key risks, challenges and opportunities for young people.

If you re enthusiastic about this opportunity but your experience doesn t align perfectly with every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway and demonstrate how your experience is transferrable. You may be just the right candidate.

Please note this is a rolling advert; applications will be reviewed regularly, and suitable applicants will be invited to attend interviews on a rolling basis.
