Sunderland, Sunderland, United Kingdom Changing Lives Full time

About Changing Lives

Changing Lives is a national charity dedicated to assisting individuals facing significant challenges in their lives. We are committed to the belief that everyone deserves a secure home, fulfilling employment, and a life free from addiction or abuse. With the right support, we believe anyone can transform their life for the better.

Our services reach thousands across the country each year, addressing a variety of complex issues such as homelessness, substance abuse, unemployment, and domestic violence. By emphasizing their strengths and potential, we empower those we assist to overcome their challenges and lead safe, successful, and independent lives.

Our organization thrives on the passion of over 600 dedicated professionals who foster a diverse and inclusive environment for growth. Many of our team members have firsthand experience with the challenges faced by those we support, and we seek compassionate individuals who share our commitment to making a difference.

About Our Housing & Homelessness Services

A secure home serves as the foundation for a fulfilling life. We provide support to individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of it, along with specialized accommodation and outreach services for vulnerable populations, including veterans and survivors of domestic abuse.

To us, accommodation means more than just a roof over one’s head; it encompasses a nurturing and supportive environment that allows individuals to feel at ease and thrive. You have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact and assist individuals on their journey toward a brighter future. At Changing Lives, we offer a home, not merely shelter.

About the Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic Support Worker to contribute to our 24-hour supported accommodation service. This role involves working with young individuals aged 16-25, helping them navigate the interconnected challenges that lead them to seek our services.

The supported accommodation service is designed for young people who have faced homelessness, providing a safe and supportive environment.

This position is well-suited for a support worker who is dedicated to assisting young individuals, offering guidance and sharing best practices to ensure they receive the high-quality support they deserve.

As a passionate advocate for positive outcomes, you will have experience in direct engagement with young people, including support planning, risk assessment, and housing management.

You will collaborate with a committed team of support workers, all striving to provide the best possible assistance to the young individuals in our care while supporting one another.

Comprehensive training will be provided, along with regular one-on-one meetings to discuss experiences and address any challenges. You will also undergo an extensive induction process.

The primary focus of your role will be to empower young individuals to develop their independent living skills, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives. This will be achieved through workshops and referrals to external agencies when necessary.

25 days of annual leave + 2 well-being days + birthday day off + 8 bank holidays (pro-rated for reduced hours)
