Role description: Project Support

Are you passionate about making a difference in children and young people’s lives, providing person-led, holistic, trauma-informed support to young people on their journey out of homelessness? Do you have perseverance, and a commitment to never give up hope in people?

Our Ofsted Registered Young Person’s Service provides support to 13 young people within Gateshead:

• A 24-7 staffed 8 bed Ofsted registered supported housing project for young people aged 16-21 with complex needs.
• A 24-7 staffed 5 bed Ofsted registered supported housing project for young people aged 16-17 with medium needs.
  
  

Our properties are places of safety, Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE), from which we work with children and young people using person-led, holistic, trauma-informed and solution-focused approaches. We aim to provide accommodation and support that helps children and young people find self-worth and the belief that they deserve a better future, supporting them in safe, positive transitions including, where relevant, from care into more independent accommodation, and from childhood to adulthood; providing holistic support to gain essential life skills, achieve health outcomes, to realise and achieve their aspirations, and reach their full potential.

To join us you will need to demonstrate experience and understanding of the needs of children and young people, especially those leaving the care system and experiencing homelessness, including related issues of mental ill-health, trauma, abuse, alcohol and substance use and offending. You will have excellent inter-personal and communication skills, including the ability to build effective relationships of trust with young people, and professionals. You will be able to provide holistic support to young people, including co-producing support and safety plans, and engaging in multi-disciplinary approaches.

In return, you will benefit from a supportive, creative environment and have the opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills. We are a growing charity, and we believe staff are the foundation stone to the success of the charity and so we do everything we can to make sure they feel valued, supported, engaged and developed.

As part of our strategy for growth and development, we are embarking on an ambitious journey to develop our culture of co-production. We want to share power and responsibility with those accessing our services in meaningful, safe and accessible ways, and to create an environment where everyone can contribute.

We welcome applicants from all faiths or none, but it is important that all employees understand and sympathise with the Christian ethos of Oasis Community Housing.

We value diversity and promote equality of opportunity. We encourage and welcome applications from suitably skilled candidates from all backgrounds to support a diverse workforce, including individuals with lived experience of homelessness.
