About us

Emmaus Gloucestershire supports formerly homeless people by giving them a home, meaningful work in a social enterprise and an opportunity to get back on their feet again.

Emmaus communities are not hostels for the homeless; they provide a home for as long as someone needs it.

For many, this support and stability is like the family they don't have, providing a safe environment to settle and re-build their lives.

Often this is an opportunity to overcome issues such as addiction, get support with mental health issues or rebuild relationships with estranged family.

What are we looking for?

Previous experience as a Support Coordinator for vulnerable adults
Understanding of homelessness, housing and social exclusion
Understanding of drug, alcohol and mental health issues
A belief in the potential of each individual and an understanding of the importance of community in helping an individual to achieve their potential
Selfmotivated effective team player, with the ability to lead, work and share
Empathy and understanding in a wide range of needs and experiences
Empowering approach and an ability to engage others in support
Confidence to take on and resolve difficult issues
Driving Licence essential. Position based in Gloucester but covers all Emmaus Gloucestershire retail and accommodation premises, across Gloucestershire

What we offer

Salary £24,596 (pro rata), 33 days holiday (incl bank holidays), group stakeholder pension scheme, mileage allowance, annual wellbeing allowance and mandatory and optional training.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the people we support.

Any offer of employment is conditional upon Emmaus Gloucestershire obtaining a Disclosure Certificate from the Disclosure and Barring Service and in accordance with the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006.
