**Contract Type: Permanent and full time**

**Closing Date: First suitable applicant will be appointed**

YOU is a registered charity that has been providing care, support and advice for over 30 years to vulnerable people, working across Hampshire, Portsmouth, Somerset, Dorset, Sussex and the Isle of Wight to give them the tools and resources they need to live independent, secure and valued lives.

**Essential requirements**

**The Role**

As a Young Lives Worker, you strive to enable the young people you work alongside to increase their independence and skills, promoting engagement with education and employment through person-centred support.

This service also works within the Ofsted framework as well as the Psychologically Informed Environments Framework to ensure all clients can make sustained changes to their lives.

**About You**

Joining the team as a Young Lives Worker, you will be conversant in the areas of safeguarding for young people, welfare benefit support, asset-based assessments and be willing to share your knowledge with colleagues. You will also have a thirst for learning and developing your skills, motivating your clients to do the same

You will be confident, enthusiastic and innovative in your approach to working with young people. You will also be flexible and able to work on a rota basis, including sleep-in shifts.

**Our Benefits**

If you choose to begin a career with our organisation, you are guaranteed:

- Competitive rates of pay and paid travel time, including a higher mileage rate for car sharing.
- Enhanced annual leave entitlements, with the opportunity to buy and sell holiday.
- Matched pension scheme contributions, plus Death in Service Benefit and salary sacrifice options.
- Enhanced sick pay allowances and paid compassionate and emergency dependent leave.
- Excellent and professionally certified training, as well as access to fully-funded apprenticeship programmes.
- Real opportunities to develop in your profession.
- Free health and wellbeing advice via a 24/7, confidential Employee Assistance Programme.
- Everything you need to carry out your role free of charge, and of course a nice cup of tea or coffee throughout your day
- Access to discounts across lots of your favourite stores and online shopping sites, as well as discounted bus travel on the First bus network.
- Online 24/7 access to your personal rota.
- A company that is committed to its employees, valuing their knowledge, creativity and flexibility.

**What Next?**
