Weekend Housing Worker

Woodleaze prides itself in being the only high support accommodation-based service for young people in South Gloucestershire and pioneers the way for supporting young people in the county. We are particularly looking to recruit from within the local community of Yate, as the role involves morning starts, and public transport from surrounding areas is sometimes lacking. This highly rewarding job can be ideal for someone who wants to make a positive impact in their community; someone wanting to start their career in supported housing or using their skills and experience in a part time role. We currently have a Weekend Housing Worker role available at 0.45 FTE. The role involves different shifts including 7am starts and 10pm finishes. Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, Monday 13 January 2025. We are striving to better represent the young people we support and therefore are particularly keen to increase applications from minoritised groups 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.,

• Being confident, you will enthusiastically engage with young people to enable positive engagement and activities during the weekends.
• By being well organised, efficient, and effective, you will help our Project Workers with supporting young people.
• By being vigilant and responsible, you will ensure the security of the building when on shift.
• By being empathetic and an enthusiastic part of the team, you will support young people, your colleagues, and the team in promoting and facilitating a positive rent culture.
