THE ROLE - Bank Support Worker (Varied shifts / hours) / Job description and job pack are available to download from our Supporting Documents


We provide a safe and caring environment in which young people are encouraged and empowered to move forward positively, and to achieve the independent skills they need to live positive and fulfilling lives in the future.

The team works in two 24-hour supported accommodation services for young people aged 16 to 25, who have been, or are at risk, of homelessness.

The projects offer high quality accommodation to 20 and 15 residents, including large communal areas and garden spaces, providing opportunities for innovation in 1:1 support and group work activities.

The experienced and committed staff adopt a trauma informed and psychologically informed approach to supporting young people to fulfil their aspirations and transition into independent living.

We are looking for
Bank Support Workers to join our enthusiastic and dynamic team.

In this diverse, rewarding role 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.
