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 part time role? Maybe looking for a career change? If you answered yes to any of those, we want to hear from you!

Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, 11 July 2024.

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. 

If you need an adjustment to be made to any part of the recruitment process, please let us know as soon as possible. 

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.  

​
You will be able to work weekends and will be based in the High Support Team. Your line manager will be the St George’s House Senior Project Worker.

At 1625ip we are led by our Competency Development Framework. This connects our values to our behaviours in everything we do and gives us the tools to develop. The framework ensures our recruitment is better informed, applications and interviews are behaviourally based and job profiles are developed on the ‘how’ of a job. 

No prior experience? No problem! We believe in your potential and are committed to providing training and support to help you thrive. If you have transferrable skills and you are interested in this role, but you are worried about the application process, please get in touch with us. We encourage you to have an informal chat with the recruiting manager to discuss how your personal or professional experience and skills could be transferred to this role. Details of how you can do that are further down in this advert.
