St Basils does really important work, which is focussed on ensuring that homelessness is not part of growing up for young people. We want young people to feel cared about, to have trusted support and somewhere safe, suitable and affordable to live that enables them to learn and work

ABOUT THE ROLE

Young people tell us that Progression Coaches need to genuinely care about them and their futures, go the extra mile, be reliable, friendly and able to relate to them and their problems.

Many of our young people have not had the best start in life and face significant challenges in securing a positive future - they need support to make progress and achieve their aspirations especially around employability. As a Progression Coach, you will have a case load of young people and you will play a central role in their lives, working alongside them to assess risks and needs and to develop plans which will enable them to make progress.

Using a social pedagogy approach (head, heart and hands), you will work holistically with your young people, having regular contact with them and keeping a close eye on their progress.

At St Basils, Progression Coaches work in supported accommodation based settings and also provide floating support for young people in their own tenancies across the West Midlands. Ability to work as part of a team is essential, as well as preparedness to work outside normal office hours.

Experience is not essential, we will provide all necessary support, induction and training.

If you have these qualities, are able to engage with young people and feel able to make a positive difference to their lives we would be delighted to receive your application.

Please see attached information pack for the full JD and person specification.

St Basils is dedicated to safeguarding all of our young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this dedication. Applicants must be able to undertake a DBS check and provide a satisfactory certificate if offered a role
