**So. What is this role exactly?**
We have an exciting opportunity to recruit a Young People’s Services Project Officer at Ravenhead Foyer.
Ravenhead Foyer is a supported housing project for 32 young people aged 16-25 and offers them the opportunity to make progress in their lives, to build resilience and meet their aspirations.
As a Project Officer, you will play a key role in supporting residents to help them achieve their goals, develop independent living and life skills and build excellent relationships with residents, colleagues and professionals from external agencies.
Ravenhead Foyer is accredited with the Foyer Federation meaning we take an asset-based approach, called Advantaged Thinking, in all the work we do; encouraging young people experiencing homelessness to aim high, dream big and fulfil their ambitions.
**We want to recruit as Project Officer as passionate about this as us.**
**What will my working week look like?**
Project Officers work on a 3 week rolling rota - Week A: 8am-4pm Week B: 11am-7pm Week C: 12noon-8pm, and are part of a multidisciplinary team on site supporting the young people who can live with us for a maximum of 2 years. The role includes some element of lone working and scheme cover.
Every day is different; you could be delivering 121 support sessions on life skills, reviewing an action plan, supporting a young person to a medical appointment, contributing to a multi-agency meeting or facilitating group activities as part of the learning programme.
**What will I be responsible for doing?**
First and foremost, you will be providing key worker support to our young people. Working through support and action plans with them, in order for them to develop the life skills necessary to move on and live independently in the community.
One of the great things about this role is being able to bring your own personality. Our young people come from a wide range of backgrounds and we try to mirror that in our staff team.
**And what would make me stand out from the crowd?**
To be a successful as a Project Officer**,** here at YHG, you will.
- Have the ability to relate well to young and vulnerable people from a variety of backgrounds
- demonstrate empathy to young people, providing them with a safe, supportive and welcoming environment
- be resilient, flexible and enthusiastic.
- be Innovative and creative in your ways of working
This role is really suited to someone who likes to manage their own diary and caseload, and enjoys interacting with lots of people on a daily basis.
**And who are Your Housing Group?**
Your Housing Group is a registered social landlord helping people at every stage of life to live in quality homes they can afford.
As one of the North’s sector-leading landlords, we are proud to play our role in tackling the UK's housing crisis by continually reinvesting in our 29,000 properties and tailoring our services to meet the diverse needs of our customers. We also build over 1,000 new homes each year.
We’re an employer of choice, over 88% of colleagues here recommend us as a 'great place to work'.
**That all sounds great, what’s in it for me?**
In return we offer £**20,000 annually **for a 35 hour week, and **25** days annual leave (holidays also increase with time served) plus Bank Holidays, but our employee deal offers much more than just a competitive salary and holiday allowance.
Although you are based at Ravenhead Foyer you will have access to Youggle House - our wellbeing, social, collaboration and meeting space in Birchwood, Warrington - you may be asked to travel to Youggle House to meet up with your wider team.
On top of this, we’ll provide you with a great benefits package, including a contributory pension where we match whatever you choose to contribute (up to 8%), an advanced level Healthcare cash plan through BHSF, that doesn’t just provide dental and optician cashback but also health and wellbeing benefits (such as 24/7 GP Access, money back from prescriptions and alternative therapy treatments) and an amazing discount scheme that gives you access to half price cinema tickets, subsidised gym memberships and a huge range of discounts with some of the biggest high street and online names.
This role also offers genuine progression opportunities, with staff previously progressing into roles such as Learning and Support Officer, Accommodation and Support Officer, Tenancy Management Officer; and both the Foyer Manager and Deputy Manager started their careers as Project Officers.
**If you want to take your first step into a career supporting young people to achieve, then we would love to hear from you**
