Role

For over 30 years, we have been dedicated to preventing youth homelessness and supporting young people in building better futures.

Working as part of our innovative Housing First for Youth Team, the Project Worker will work directly with young people to coordinate and provide emotional and practical support. Providing an assertive outreach approach, the Project Worker will work with young people to secure and manage their own permanent home, providing support in their home and in their local community to ensure that a young person’s experience of homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring.

The Project Worker will support young people to improve their practical independent living skills, access other services, and reach their full potential. Project Workers are responsible for completing support plans and risk assessments and are the main contact for any key people involved in the care and support of young people.
