We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated, conscientious person to join our Supported Housing team in our Ilfracombe project.

You will be lone working with young people (aged 16-25) who have a range of support and housing needs. Providing a holistic service assisting with accessing benefits, managing finances, health and wellbeing, maintaining accommodation, accessing education, employment or training. In addition to this you will sometimes give further support and sign‑posting for additional needs. You will need to take a creative approach to support, adapting your style of communication with each individual to provide a person‑centred approach to help the young people establish and work towards their goals and aspirations.
