Youth Support Worker - Watford Young People`s Housing Service

Aim of the role: To provide support and empower vulnerable young people to achieve their aspirations and move towards independence.

We have an opportunity for a full time (37.5 hours) Youth Support Worker

We are looking for enthusiastic and caring individuals to join our young people`s housing service in Watford which provides supported accommodation for 16-24 year olds with various needs. This is in an exciting opportunity to join an enthusiastic team who are determined to help young people reach their potential and move towards independent lives.

We`re keen to recruit individuals who care about supporting vulnerable young people to achieve their aspirations and goals, as well as understanding, promoting and embracing our values:

Putting our residents and service users first

Treating people with respect, promoting independence and choice

Developing passionate and committed teams

Being cost effective without compromising standards or safety

If you share our values and our passion for supporting young people, we`d love you to work for us.

If you're someone who is able to recognise the wishes and needs of vulnerable young people, respond well in a crisis and work independently, we will give you all the training and support you need to do the role.

About the role

You`ll be empowering vulnerable young people to lead independent and fulfilling lives with the support of a network of staff, social workers and other professionals.

You will also enable them to access education, employment, training opportunities, volunteering as well as healthcare services in order to manage their emotional and physical wellbeing.

Supporting young people can often be challenging but incredibly rewarding. Patience, compassion, resilience and creativity will be crucial in this role where you can make a difference to a vulnerable young person`s life.

We provide a 24 hour service so you must be able to work shifts as part of a rota system which will include weekend and bank holiday working.
