- A Level 3 qualification in Housing, Youth & Community, Social Work, Coaching or a related field (or a willingness to work towards this)
- Confidence working alongside other professionals and agencies
- Emotional resilience, flexibility and good judgement

Why work for YMCA Leicestershire as a Housing Officer?
Because people matter here, including the people who work here.
