Our Client

Are you passionate about supporting young people and helping them build a brighter, more stable future?

We are working in partnership with a social enterprise to recruit a motivated, compassionate and creative Young Persons Coach to join a truely unique service, focused on preventing homelessness amongst young people.

This opportunity is not necessarily about having previous experience in homelessness, housing or support work. Instead, someone with the right attitude, passion and motivation to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people is what we are looking for!

We are looking for someone who can think outside the box, bring fresh ideas and take a genuinely individual approach to understanding the young person they are supporting. Someone who is willing to go above and beyond, think creatively and find innovative ways to engage, empower and help young people overcome the challenges they face.

The role

As a Young Persons Coach you will work directly with young people who are at imminent or longer-term risk of homelessness, providing tailored, holistic support to help prevent them from reaching crisis point.

This is about much more than simply finding someone accommodation. You will take the time to understand each young person's individual circumstances, aspirations, strengths and barriers, developing personalised support plans that help them build the foundations for a more independent and sustainable future.

What are we looking for?

Above all, we are looking for someone who genuinely wants to make a difference.

You might already have experience working with young people, within housing, education, youth work, social care or the charity sector. Equally, you might be looking to take your first step into this type of work.

Previous experience is not necessarily essential. What matters most is your personality, approach and motivation.

We would love to speak to people who are:

• Passionate about supporting young people and preventing homelessness.

• Empathetic, approachable and able to build meaningful relationships.

• Creative and innovative, with the ability to think outside the box when finding solutions.

• Genuinely interested in understanding each young person's individual circumstances rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

• Patient, resilient and committed to empowering others.

• Confident communicators who can build relationships with young people and partner organisations.

• Organised, proactive and able to take ownership of their work.

• Able to recognise barriers young people may face and think creatively about how to overcome them.

Why apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a unique and exciting project where you can have a real and lasting impact on the lives of young people.

You will have the opportunity to work in a genuinely person-centred way, helping young people recognise their potential, overcome challenges and build the confidence and skills to move towards independent living.

We are particularly keen to hear from people who have the passion and drive to make a difference, even if they don't have direct experience in the sector.

If you are someone who believes in people, enjoys finding solutions and wants to help young people build a future away from homelessness, we would love to hear from you!
