Horsham, United Kingdom YMCA Downslink Group Full time

**Our mission is to help children and young people have a fair chance to be who they want to be. We do this by providing a safe home, increasing life skills and self-confidence, and improving emotional wellbeing and mental health**

Are you looking for a challenging and rewarding role where you are able to support young people by providing a safe environment for them to feel safe and comfortable?

You will be working as part of the Older Looked-after Young People (OLYP) team in Horsham looking after young people aged 16 -17 in a warm and homely environment. Young people come to us from a variety of backgrounds and have various and often complex needs. The team is made up of passionate and caring individuals, who work together to provide holistic support to the young people in our care, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our specialist supported accommodation is a safe and secure environment where young people are supported to acquire the necessary skills in preparation for living independently and can safely explore their increased freedom and choice and develop the responsibilities associated with adulthood.

Your primary role will be to keep our service and young people, safe. You will help to contribute to a great working environment, with a calm, yet assertive manner, being able to handle potentially difficult situations. In addition, you will complete health and safety checks, ensuring the service is clean and tidy and reporting any repairs. **You will be lone working as part of the role, so you will need to be comfortable with decision making and following procedures.**

**You will work a shift of 8pm-7am** **on a four night on, four night off rota. Although these are long shifts, you will get four days off after, which can provide a great work life balance.**

Ideally you will have experience working with young people, those considered vulnerable or with multiple and complex needs along with being able to demonstrate a real passion for wanting to work with young people. You will have an understanding of the needs of single homeless clients aged 16-25 and the ability to engage, motivate and inspire, with a strong commitment to changing the life of others for the better.

You will already have clear verbal and written communication skills, good IT and keyboard skills and the ability to self-motivate. You will be proactive in you thinking, with the ability to manage lots of tasks at the same time and keep appropriate records. In addition, you will have the ability to de-escalate volatile situations and manage challenging behaviour appropriately.
