**JOB TITLE**:CENTRAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR**

**Contract: Permanent PART-TIME, 25 hours**

**Work Patten: 11am-5pm Monday-Friday**

**Salary: £19,642 (£27,500 FTE)**

**BACKGROUND**:
**The Cardinal Hume Centre works to prevent and tackle youth and family homelessness, we**:

- ** Offer support to local children and families at risk**:

- ** Help families keep or find a stable home and manage their money**:

- ** Mentor people to find work or training**:

- ** Help people secure their legal right to remain in the UK and access homes, work and benefits.**

Last year we helped over 1200 people including nearly 600 families and 230 children and young people. Our aim is to tackle homelessness, poor housing and poverty at a young age and break its cycle into later life. We want to see the value in each individual and nurture potential, helping young people and families to thrive.

The Centre prides itself on its welcome and person centred approach. It recognises each individual is different, often with complex needs and so our response must be multi-layered. We therefore have six principal services: residential services for homeless young people; family support; housing and welfare rights advice; employment support; learning; and immigration advice and advocacy.

The Centre is based within five minutes’ walk from Parliament but works in an area where homelessness in nearly all its forms has increased. Around 3,500 children from Westminster are housed in temporary accommodation. Over a third of children live in poverty. Families face unaffordable housing costs, a challenging labour market and rising levels of crime.

With an annual income in the region of £3.25 million, the Centre currently employs around 60 dedicated members of staff and around 50 volunteers. In our most recent staff survey 93% of staff said they enjoy the work they do and 91% felt proud to work at the Centre.
