FIVE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US
Passion, Patience, Partnership, Persistence and Diligence
Key2 is a leading, dynamic and innovative housing and support project for young people leaving care.

???Support workers come from different backgrounds and often have experience and skills gained in a variety of roles and environments. If you think you have transferable skills and the drive to help young people fulfill their potential, then we would love to hear from you.
About you
Support workers must be non-judgmental, empathetic and understand the changing needs of young people leaving care and the challenges they face. You must be practical and flexible and able to respond to a variety of situations. This will require you to work in a trauma-informed way, demonstrating our ethos of patience, passion, persistence, partnership and diligence.
Support workers will need basic IT skills, excellent interpersonal skills and understand the importance of working within equal opportunities, safeguarding and confidentiality guidelines. You'll be able to communicate on different levels both verbally and in writing, and have good life skills.
