Salary: £24,102 per annum + £1,500 budget for personal and professional development

Contract: 15-month fixed term

Hours : 37.5 per week

Location: Sheffield

Closing date: 16th June 11.30pm

Come and Join us

The GROW Traineeship gives people with lived experience of homelessness and/or other related disadvantages (including but not limited to; contact with the criminal justice system, mental ill-health or substance use) access to paid employment, training and personal development opportunities. The traineeship lasts for up to 15 months, and each GROW receives personalised training and support to help remove some of the barriers that may have prevented them from getting meaningful employment. We are looking for people who are passionate about using their own experiences to help make change for people in Sheffield experiencing bad housing and homelessness.

About Shelter

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent. We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

About the role

The GROW trainee will be primarily working alongside Senior Support Workers within the Home at Last Project (HALT) to improve support and outcomes for people experiencing rough sleeping who have drug and alcohol dependence needs. You will also work with other professionals from across the housing, health and social care sectors to help people experiencing multiple disadvantage to build resilience and develop independent living skills. The role will involve helping people to settle and stay in accommodation, help build independent living skills, support to people to access services and appointments. The GROW trainee programme includes opportunities to get involved in developing services in Sheffield and across Shelter at a national level, using your experiences to influence our local strategic aims.

About you

We are looking for people who have experience of overcoming personal challenges and barriers and who are passionate about using their own life experiences to help make positive change for others. Good communication skills and the ability to make people feel heard will also be essential. Basic computer skills, e.g. word processing, the internet and email would be useful, but support can be provided. Above all, we need people with a real desire to develop personally and learn new skills.

How to apply

To apply you need to submit a copy of your CV and a completed application form (attached). This can be submitted either by email or you can submit a paper copy to the Sheffield Hub: Shelter, 33-37 Hereford Street, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield, S1 4PP. Please don't worry if your CV has gaps or limited work experience, this is not a problem. If you need support creating a CV, please get in touch.

We will be holding support sessions at our hub in Sheffield to give people practical support and advice on how to complete an application, or to pick up a paper application. This sessions will also give you the chance to find out more about the role as well as other opportunities at Shelter Sheffield. This will take place on the following date:

Thursday 13th June 2024, 2-4pm- Sheffield Community Hub (Shelter, 33-37 Hereford Street, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield, S1 4PP)

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme. Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We're here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.
