You are someone who balances a big heart with a sharp eye for detail. You understand that "equity" means doing whatever it takes to level the playing field.

• Experienced: You have a background in social work, youth work, teaching, or a related field. You’ve worked with families facing disadvantage, and you know how to navigate complex family difficulties.
• Qualified: A degree or certification in Social Work, Youth Work, Education or a related field.
• Safeguarding Savvy: A deep understanding of safeguarding principles and child protection procedures.
• Independent: You’re comfortable leading frontline operations autonomously and can manage a budget with precision.

• Local Knowledge: As a resident of Cambridgeshire, you’ll use your local insight to help expand our reach across the county.

Why Join Us?

• Be a Pioneer: You’ll be instrumental in shaping the future of a rapidly growing charity.
• Impact-Focused: You will see the direct results of your work as children gain confidence and thrive through recreational learning.
• Flexible & Inclusive: We offer remote working and value your unique journey. We encourage applications that evidence these requirements through paid or unpaid roles, as well as personal and professional experience.

About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.

About us

At Providence Row, you’ll work directly with people facing real barriers – homelessness, low confidence, disrupted pathways – supporting them to build skills, access opportunities, and move forward.

We’re looking for a Progression Coach who can turn support into progress. This means going beyond conversations – maintaining momentum, driving outcomes, and knowing how to move people forward, even when progress isn’t straightforward.

Progression means movement into training, work experience, employment, or other agreed next steps that increase independence.

Research shows some people, especially women and marginalised groups, may hesitate to apply unless they match all the criteria. However, we want to assure everyone that we encourage applications from all individuals, regardless of whether they fulfil every point in the job description. Your unique perspective matters to us – please apply with confidence.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll play a central role in a busy, high-impact service:

· Deliver high-quality 1:1 coaching and Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG), with a clear focus on outcomes

· Support clients to create strong CVs, complete applications and prepare for interviews

· Actively move clients into training, work experience and employment opportunities

· Deliver structured group sessions (employability, digital and life skills)

· Build and maintain effective relationships with employers, training providers and partners

· Manage a varied caseload, balancing engagement with progression and outcomes

· Maintain accurate records and demonstrate impact through clear, consistent data

This role requires pace, judgement and consistency. You’ll need to balance support with accountability and ensure that every interaction contributes to forward movement.

What we’re looking for

This role will suit someone who is:

· Experienced in supporting people facing multiple barriers to progression (e.g. homelessness, long-term unemployment, low confidence)

· Confident delivering both 1:1 coaching and structured group sessions

· Able to challenge constructively as well as support

· Focused on outcomes, not just activity

· Organised, resilient and able to manage competing demands

· Comfortable working in a fast-moving, frontline environment

You’ll need to be someone who can build trust quickly, hold clear boundaries, and consistently move people forward.

Experience in homelessness or a similar setting is desirable.

Benefits

• 27 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Pension scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Season ticket loan
• Employee assistance programme
• Access to shopping discounts
• Learning & development opportunities
• Monthly reflective practice
