ABOUT US
St Mungo’s Broadway provides a bed and support to more than 2,500 people a night who are either homeless or at risk, and works to prevent homelessness, helping about 25,000 people a year. We believe no one should be homeless and that people can – and do – recover from the issues that create homelessness. We support men and women through more than 200 projects including emergency, hostel and supportive housing.

THE ROLE
We are currently seeking three highly motivated individuals to join our Young Persons Accommodation Pathway in Milton Keynes as Youth Project Workers. The service is located across five sites providing accommodation, support and move-on for young people aged 16 to 21, who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Our young clients also have a variety of support needs including substance use, offending and mental illness.

We are looking for individuals who believe in our clients’ ability to change and achieve their goals, while also being able to manage and understand some challenging behaviour. The service aims to address clients’ needs by increasing independence and supporting clients to engage in positive activity, training and employment.

ABOUT YOU
You will have relevant training, study or qualifications in the area of youth work or other areas relevant to working with vulnerable young people and/or adults. You will also have a detailed understanding of the support needs of vulnerable people, including the ability to assess and plan recovery focussed support with clients. Demonstrable experience of coaching, motivating and empowering people to achieve their goals is also essential.
