Background

Do you want to delight customers and join a forward thinking social housing company who want to invest and develop in a career that grows with you? Our client is looking for a positive and dynamic person to join their high performing team.

Our client has been ranked in the top 50 in The Sunday Times Top 100 Best Not-for-Profit Organisations to work for in the whole of the UK. They are one of the largest landlords in the South West, with a diverse portfolio of affordable and market rented homes.

What you'll be doing

You'll be working with 14 to 18 year olds, supporting them to overcome barriers they face in accessing education, training and employment opportunities by delivering activities out in the community.

You'll be travelling around Bath and surrounding areas working with partners and recruiting customers to engage in the service, carrying out drop in sessions and running a programme of activities.

Whilst you will be part of a team, this role is very autonomous so you will be encouraged to take control of your own workload and develop projects in line with the funding requirements.

You will be confident working one to one or with small groups, delivering activities to build confidence and self-esteem, teach and develop employability skills and support people to participate in meaningful occupations. In addition to teaching budgeting and life skills, the project aims to bring out the best in people through creativity, music and outdoor activities.

More about you

You'll have relevant experience in organising and delivering training to vulnerable people, together with an understanding of education, training, employment and supported housing or project based youth work.

You'll be highly self-motivated and possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills to enable you to liaise effectively with colleagues in the team and external agencies.

You'll have passion about empowering young people, and/or have experience working in this area.

You will have a basic understanding of safeguarding for vulnerable adults and our client will build on this by increasing your knowledge.

They will need to take up an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Check for this role which they will do for you when you start.

When and where you'll be doing it

You will be able to work flexibly between Monday to Friday, based on customers needs.

You will be responsible for organizing your own workload and setting your diary appointments.

You'll be based in Bath and the surrounding areas, out and about in the community so you will need to be able to travel.

What will you get in return?

Our client thinks you'll have a job that makes you feel good about what you're doing - you will make a difference to customers' lives every day.

You'll get:

*

Additional day annual leave on your birthday

*

26 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays) rising to 29 after 3 years' service

*

Opportunity to earn additional performance related pay

*

Company Pension contribution of up to 10%

*

Flexible Benefits including health care, gym membership, additional holiday purchase
