As a member of our team, your work will make a real difference. Whether you're supporting young people directly or working behind the scenes, you'll play an important role in creating safe, welcoming environments where people can thrive.

We value our staff and are committed to creating a positive, inclusive workplace where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. We invest in our people through training, development opportunities, wellbeing support, and a collaborative team culture.

In return, we offer:

• Competitive salary.
• Generous annual leave entitlement
• Pension scheme.
• Wellbeing support.
• Employee discounts.
• Ongoing training and professional development.
• The opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young people.

If you're looking for more than just a job and want to be part of an organisation that helps young people overcome homelessness and achieve their potential, we'd love to hear from you.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and lived experiences and are committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process and during employment where required.

We are committed to building a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve and particularly welcome applications from groups that are currently under-represented within our workforce, including people with disabilities, care-experienced people, people with lived experience of homelessness, and people from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

All appointments will be made on merit, based on the skills, experience and behaviours required for the role. Where appropriate, we use inclusive recruitment practices designed to reduce bias and provide all applicants with an equal opportunity to demonstrate their suitability for the role.
