Job description

About Us

akt is the UK’s national LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity. Founded in 1989, we operates service centres in London, Manchester and Newcastle and provide support across the UK through our Digital Service. Last year, akt worked with over 1150 vulnerable young people.

We exist because of a simple but powerful thought that no young person should have to choose between a safe home and being who they are.

Today, young LGBTQ+ people are still at an increased risk of homelessness and are twice as likely to end up hidden homeless than their peers. akt provides support and routes to safe homes so that young people can thrive.

This is a three-year funded joint project with Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing Association and Lambeth Council. The role is part of the Services team and is supervised by the Director of Services. Other members of the team include one part time Housing Support Worker and a part-time LGBTQ+ Inclusion and Development Co-ordinator.
