Doncaster, United Kingdom YMCA Doncaster Full time

Could you be the steady, reliable presence in the lives of vulnerable young people?

Our Housing Workers wear many different hats, including administration, maintaining security, carrying out repairs and providing a little wisdom to the 30 young people who live in our supported accommodation project.

They are the steady, reliable presence from the first contact when a young person asks to move in with us, right through to the day they are ready to move into a place of their own.

The work is varied, interesting and sometimes challenging - we need people who are flexible and able to turn their hands to a range of different things during each shift. You will be overseeing the building and the behaviour of thirty young people, and no day is ever predictable (although, after a while, you'll learn to feel it in your toes when something might be brewing).

You will be working alone, responsible for everything that happens on your watch. You will be carrying out regular patrols to make sure all is well, and keeping clear, detailed records of everything that happens. If something needs to be addressed, you will be dealing with it - that might include a cleaning task, dealing with anti-social behaviour or damage, investigating an incident or liasing with the emergency services.

At the start and end of your shift, there will be a short handover session with the next person - but most of your communication with the rest of the team will be in writing using our online and written systems.

We offer genuinely meaningful work, a good rate of pay, a reliable income and a role that can be permanent if you want that or a springboard to a career in housing or charity work, giving you a superb grounding in the whole range of frontline issues.

If you're ready for your next challenge, or your very last job, we would love to hear from you.

- To attend shifts reliably and on time in order to ensure continuous cover.
- To carry out daily administrative tasks, including taking rent, answering telephone calls and providing appropriate information to callers in accordance with procedure.

- To participate in a varied rota contributing to the provision of a 24 hour, year round service.
