We work to prevent youth homelessness across Sussex and Surrey and provide a home to 763 young people every night.

We reach a further 10,000 young people and their families through our other key services, such as counselling, support and advice, mediation, and youth work, so that all young people can belong, contribute and thrive.

You can hear our inspiring Young People's Stories HERE.

We are looking for Bank Support Workers that can cover all areas of West Sussex including Crawley, Horsham and Worthing.

As a
Bank Support Worker, you will work proactively, creatively and effectively alongside young people to develop their assets and talents and to acquire the skills they need to live independent and fulfilling lives.

You will contribute to the smooth and safe running of the services by providing consistency and reliability. This will involve recording incidents, accidents and safeguarding issues and sharing information with relevant colleagues. You will also undertake housing management and health and safety-related tasks as required. This includes fire, gas and water safety, and buildings inspections.

Becoming a Bank Support Worker is a great way into the organisation and can be used as a stepping stone to other roles.

This role has a flexible range of shifts; the hours can include evenings, weekends and bank holidays.

You will ideally have experience of working with a similar client group and a good understanding of the key risks, challenges and opportunities for young people.

You will be able to inspire and work proactively with young people to develop their talents and achieve the skills they need to maintain their lives independently.

An excellent planner and organiser, you will be able to manage lots of tasks at the same time and keep appropriate records.

Furthermore, you will be able to build strong relationships with other members of your team and will make sure that handovers are robust and clear.

As an organisation, we are committed to the continued professional development of all colleagues, providing an extensive programme of formal learning opportunities and supported by an organisational wide culture of learning.
