**Join our Oxford city-based team**

Young People’s Supported Accommodation (YPSA) is part of the county-wide pathways for young people in need of safe accommodation and specialist support.

We offer a highly aspirational service that defines the young adults it works with by their resilience, determination and potential, not the difficulties they have overcome. It is a system-change model commissioned by Oxfordshire County Council and sees Oxfordshire Youth supporting 130 young people aged 18-24 in high-quality two, three and four-bedroom homes provided by our project partner Response. This vital service offers young people - many of whom are care leavers or unaccompanied asylum seekers - trauma-informed youth work, delivered in physiologically informed environments in which they can flourish.

Our ambition is for vulnerable young people, or young people at risk of homelessness to engage with a life-changing offer of activities and youth work support. Our youth workers offer consistent advice that allows them to grow in confidence and skill, in preparation for a move into independent living. YPSA residents are also equipped with techniques and psychological tools to help them manage their mental health, develop financial empowerment and learn how to mend, nurture and manage healthy relationships with the people that matter to them.
