Worthing Foyer is one of our 24-hour supported accommodation projects; it houses 29 young people aged 16 to 25 for up to 2 years, offering high to medium support. As a service, we provide a safe and welcoming environment for young people, with their aspirations and desires always at the forefront of the support we offer. We encourage and empower young people to move forward positively, and to learn and achieve the independent skills they need to live positive and fulfilling lives.

In your role as a
Support Project Worker you will support a caseload of young people or adults at risk, providing supported housing services and coaching them so they can articulate and achieve their aspirations, ambitions, and acquire the skills they need to live independent and fulfilling lives.

There is a certain amount of lone working involved in this role, but you will get to know the team and project, along with extensive training prior to starting on a rota.
