Helping them to overcome any difficulties or disadvantages they may face - allowing them to strengthen their future. You’ll support the young people to develop their independence skills, having a real impact on their day to day living and proactively implement the council’s environmental policies.

**What you'll need**

You'll be a compassionate, empathetic person who will be able to support young people who are vulnerable but can be challenging at times. With knowledge of health and safety regulations you'll be able to use and maintain cleaning equipment including vacuums. In addition, you'll have experience of cleanliness and hygiene. The service is looking for a consistent team member who is flexible and willing to get stuck in.
