You will work closely with the frontline support team, creating tailored content that promotes positive change, while also collaborating with the wider Opportunities team to share best practices and continuously improve the program.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people, empowering them to break through barriers and create a future full of potential. At Single Homeless Project, you'll have the chance to develop your career in a supportive and growing environment, building your expertise and becoming a specialist in youth development.

  • You bring experience working with young people who struggle with change and motivation. 
  • Your toolkit includes practical skills in motivation and coaching young people.  
  • Your approach is creative, analytical, trauma-informed and rooted in person-centred ways of working. 
  • You can creatively inspire opportunities for our young people to thrive and to develop to their highest potential. 
  • Can multi-task and manage working under pressure. 
  • Strong team-working and interpersonal skills, maintaining a collaborative approach to supporting young people achieve the outcomes and goals we support them to set for themselves.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
