**Full Time, Permanent**

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a housing adviser to join Bristol City Council’s Through Care Service. The Through Care Service supports children and young people aged 0-25 and their families, through their journey in care and as care leavers. The post is based at B Bond, Smeaton Road in Bristol in a busy vibrant office.

This post is funded by the Department for Education to reduce homelessness for young people who have left care.

You will work closely with, Leaving Care Personal Advisers, Social Workers, Housing Officers, and partner agencies to achieve positive housing outcomes for 18 - 25-year-old care leavers.
