Job description

What we are looking for in you

We are seeking enthusiastic, honest, and hardworking leaders to join our teams in Somerset.

You will work collaboratively with staff teams to build professional, positive, and trusting relationships with young people, colleagues, and other relevant agencies.

This role involves modelling, developing, and encouraging positive behaviours among young people and team members to ensure effective management of accommodation, while fostering long-term positive outcomes.

We are keen to find individuals who truly believe in young people and their potential, motivated to make a real difference in their lives and communities.

Creating professional, positive, and trusting relationships is key to supporting each young person, providing a supportive environment for them to move towards greater independence and achieve meaningful goals. Team Leaders play a crucial role in ensuring teams work effectively and consistently to achieve the best outcomes for young people, while striving to improve support and engagement standards. If you're ready to make a real impact and facilitate transformative change, we look forward to your application.

While systems are in place to support you, a significant part of the role involves lone working. Therefore, we require someone competent and confident working independently, and capable of understanding and managing complex and challenging behaviours appropriately.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of others. All appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS check and the provision of two suitable references.

What you might want to know about us

We appreciate your interest in joining the YMCA Dulverton Group. We are more than just a charity; we are a vibrant local community dedicated to fostering supportive, inclusive, and empowering environments. Our mission is to create communities where young people can belong, contribute, and thrive.

We deliver life-changing services to over 10,000 children, young people, and families across Somerset and Devon each year. Our key areas include Support and Advice, Housing, Family and Youth Work, YMCA Gym, Training and Education, and Our Hotels.

We adapt our services regularly to meet community needs and local authority priorities, aiming to provide high-quality housing and support.

Our staff are committed to our evolving organization and dedicated to transforming lives. If contributing to youth development, community impact, and making a difference resonates with you, we would love to learn how your skills and passions align with our mission, aims, and values.

We are committed to equal opportunities and strive to be a care leaver-friendly employer. If you are care experienced and wish to disclose this, we guarantee an interview if you meet the role's minimum requirements. We also offer constructive feedback on your application.
