Independent Living Skills Coach

About The Role

Imagine this… A person has just moved into West Farm after months of instability. They’re unsure, maybe guarded, but you start by cooking a simple meal together. Over time, you help them learn to budget, manage a tenancy, and rebuild confidence. You’re not just teaching skills, you’re helping someone believe they can thrive independently, while knowing they’ve got someone they can trust walking alongside them.

We have a role available offering weekday working Mon - Fri 6pm - 9pm.

• Act as a coach and keyworker, co‑creating 'My Journey' plans.
• Build supportive relationships rooted in trust and respect.
• Deliver life skills sessions, activities and accredited programmes.
• Support young people before, during, and after they move on to independence.

• A natural coach — someone who can inspire, guide and encourage.
• Empathy for young people with complex needs and resilience when challenges arise.
• Creativity to find solutions that unlock potential.
