Weekend Housing Worker

We are excited to be recruiting into our St George’s House Team. We are the only high support accommodation-based service for young people in Bristol and pioneer the way for supporting young people in the city.  

Do you have a desire to support young people? Would you like to develop excellent support and housing management experience? Do you want the flexibility of a part time role? Maybe looking for a career change? If you answered yes to any of those, we want to hear from you!

The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, Tuesday 28 January 2025.

We are striving to better represent the young people we support and therefore are particularly keen to increase applications from minoritised groups and male candidates as they are currently under-represented in our organisation. We also encourage applications from people with relevant lived experience. 

Who are we?

We are a leading youth homelessness charity based in the Southwest, working with over 1,500 young people. At 1625ip we are driven by Social Justice and Passion: we strive to do something that matters and take pride in seeing the results of our work in social outcomes and improving young people’s lives.

What you will be doing

• By confidently and passionately engaging with young people, using a creative and flexible approach to support, you will facilitate lots of varied positive engagement over weekends.
• By being well organised, efficient, and effective, you will help our Project Workers with support and a whole host of housing management tasks, from running an activity to helping clean a room.
• By being vigilant and responsible, you will ensure the security of the building when on shift.
  Using your understanding of the complex needs of young people, as well as your problem-solving skills, you will manage challenging behaviour within the project when it happens.
  By co-ordinating and co-delivering activities on site, including co-ordination of residents’ meetings, you will work with individuals and groups of young people within the projects so that they are encouraged to meaningfully occupy their time with specific regard to education, employment and training.
