Guildford, 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._**

**Looking to join a friendly, dedicated and welcoming team to make positive changes in young people's lives? Our Bank Support Worker roles are similar to our Support Workers roles, but they work on a more flexible, temporary basis - so if you don’t want to commit to a regular working pattern and prefer to pick up shifts that work for you, when they are available, this role is for you. It's also a great way into the organisation and can be a stepping stone to other roles.**

Guildford Foyer is one of our 24-hour supported housing projects offering high quality support and accommodation to 34 young people, ages 16-25 who have multiple and complex needs, including many who are unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people. 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.

We are looking for **Supported Housing Bank Support Workers** to join the Guildford Foyer team - you will bring your own individual and unique qualities to the team for the betterment of the team dynamic. You will contribute to the smooth and safe running of the services, along with supporting young people to develop living skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, managing behaviour, seeking and securing employment and making wise decisions. When required you will record any incidents, accidents and safeguarding issues and share information with relevant colleagues. You will also undertake housing management and health and safety-related tasks as required.

**This role has a flexible range of shifts; the hours can include evenings, weekends and bank holidays.**

Firstly, you will be passionate about being involved in the support and growth of young people. You will ideally have experience of working with a similar client group and a good understanding of the key risks, challenges and opportunities for young people, along with an awareness of all aspects of safeguarding.

You will enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, working in a client facing role, with the ability to self-motive to drive to deliver an outstanding service. You will be an effective communicator who is able to deliver robust, clear handovers and build strong relationships with other members of your team. In addition, you will have the ability to de-escalate volatile situations and manage challenging behaviour appropriately.

**YMCA DLG requires all staff and volunteers to be committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults and to respond proactively to safeguarding concerns. Successful applicants are required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure (including the Children’s barred list and the Adults’ barred list)** **via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
