**An opportunity to work & stay at our Hummingbird Support House!**
We’re looking for a compassionate and experienced Key Support Worker to be part of Hummingbird Homes—a unique new model helping young people transition from care to independent living.
Background:
At Handcrafted, we work with a range of vulnerable people, including care leavers. Their stories and experiences have helped us to recognise that there is a gap in provision from 16+, where transitioning into independent living is either an overly support-intensive time or very isolating. We have created a new model of support for those transitioning from care to independent living, bridging a critical gap in services.
Our New Approach:
To set up the Hummingbird Community, we have purchased five houses that are all near each other. Four of these will be used as supported housing for children 16+ transitioning out of the care system, and one of them will serve as a dedicated "Support House".
This house will have a central community space for the young people, and it's a home where you can stay nearby whilst working, on-call, or between shifts, for as long as you are employed by Handcrafted.
The communal area downstairs will be the base for spending time together and providing life skills training alongside the wider team.
You would have your own private space upstairs for when you stay at the Support House.
Your Impact:
The heart of Hummingbird Homes is to offer children in care a sense of normality and stability. We aim to create a gentler transition into adulthood and independent living by fostering an environment of belonging and community through regular social activities and a family-like atmosphere.
As a Key Support Worker, your role would be central to this mission—forming meaningful relationships with young people and ensuring that each young person receives the guidance and support they need to take their next steps with confidence.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
