Stopover project provides accommodation-based housing support services to 14 young people aged 16-25 years. Each young person has their own bedsit, comprising a sitting room/bedroom, kitchen, and en-suite bathroom. The aim is to support young people in developing independent living skills to transition to less supported accommodation or their own tenancy.

This is a part-time permanent role, working 30 hours per week.
