Description

About us
Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

It is an exciting and important time to be joining us at Crisis. We work with thousands of people across England, Scotland, and Wales so they can leave homelessness behind for good. We have recently adapted the way our services work to maximise our impact in ending homelessness.

We have increased our capacity to work with people one to one and strengthened our ability to support those people facing the most barriers to preventing or ending their homelessness.

About the role

As Strengths and Assets Coach, you will work alongside people experiencing homelessness to enable each individual to end their homelessness sustainably.

You will use and develop a range of coaching and learning skills and techniques to facilitate person centred learning using a psychologically informed approach that leads to positive change.

You will provide support to members with practical aspects of their route out of homelessness, including access to housing, volunteering, training, employment, or income maximisation.

You will work with members to build their confidence and capacity to access community resources and become active citizens.

You will develop and deliver a range of engaging formal and informal learning, that is person centred in employability, volunteering, tenancy skills and personal development.

About you

To be successful in this role you will have experience in homelessness, community education, tenancy sustainment, skills development and training, or group work.

You will also have experience of working alongside marginalised groups and individuals using a coaching approach to develop strengths and assets.

Interest free loans for travel season ticket, cycle to work, and deposit to secure a tenancy

25 days' annual leave which increases with service to 28 days and option to purchase up to 10 additional days leave
Enhanced maternity, paternity, shared parental, and adoption pay
Flexible working around the core hours 10am4pm
And more (Full list of benefits available on website)

Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience, and career.

When you join us, you will have the opportunity to join our staff diversity networks, which aim to champion issues across the organisation, enable staff to be their authentic and best selves and contribute to making Crisis a truly diverse organisation.
