Job description

South West based charitable housing association BCHA was founded over 50 years ago with a continuing mission to meet housing need and end homelessness. We aim to achieve this through the building and provision of affordable and secure homes, and by supporting individuals to take control and lead independent, fulfilled lives. Whether we are developing sites or supporting people with housing, learning or living skills, we believe in equality, the importance of every individual and the right to be valued and treated with dignity and respect. Our doors are open to everyone.



Position:

Are you empathetic, motivated and solution-focussed? Would you like to inspire and make a positive impact on a young person's life?

An exciting opportunity has become available to join the successful support team working in Poole, supporting young people aged 18-21 years old.

This exciting and varied role will involve supporting young people with housing related support to develop and promote independent living. You will be part of an organisation that is developing Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) and Trauma Informed Care approaches.

Opportunities to extend relationships with external agencies to provide the relevant support to meet the needs of the young person and to create and deliver innovative, and fun approaches in which life learning is paramount to the personal development of the client.

You will have excellent communication and engagement skills that enable young people to become confident, resilient and personally empowered on their journey to independence.

The successful applicant will have a full induction and be supported by a strong team that strives to achieve positive outcomes for clients on a daily basis.

You will be passionate and creative in all you do, always looking to grow and improve and build experiences.

You can add real value as part of a small team of professionals who build positive, trusting and respectful relationships with our customers who are preparing to move forward towards independence.
