If so, then our Key Worker role may be the one for you.

Cyrenians City Community provides accommodation for up to 7 young people who will have experienced a tough reality, potentially as a consequence of family breakdown, homelessness, drug or alcohol issues, or poor mental health. The Community provides a safe and stable environment for young people to live, learn and develop together. Our unique approach to supported accommodation helps young people to develop their skills and build supportive relationships.

The post holder will work as part of a small team to ensure the Community is a homely, welcoming and safe space for all residents. The main responsibilities of the role are:

• Working alongside residents to develop their own support plans and future goals.
• Encouraging and supporting residents to be active in the day to day running of the community, including being part of all decision making.
• Providing support and supervision to our residential peer volunteers.

We are looking for a flexible, well organised and passionate individual who is aware of the challenges young people face. You will also have:

• Experience of working with young people
• Strong communication and relationship building skills
• A commitment to providing the highest quality of care

You will have a supportive line manager who, alongside an experienced and knowledgeable team will provide full induction and training on all aspects of your role. You will be joining a staff team who is always striving to develop further. This means there will be great opportunities for you to both learn and develop, while sharing your existing skills and experiences with others.

You’ll also have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.
