- Experience in the care and support sector, ideally with vulnerable young people or those facing homelessness.
- A proven track record of line managing and motivating staff, bringing the best out of your team with compassion and clarity.

Why join us?
We live by our values – Be kind. Do the right thing. Celebrate diversity. Love new ideas. Pull together. Keep our promises. If those resonate with you, you’ll fit right in.
You’ll have the chance to shape and lead a passionate team and make a real difference in young people’s lives. We also offer excellent training, development opportunities, and the chance to be part of a supportive organisation that puts people first.
We also offer:
- 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays.
- Flexible benefits package (healthcare, dental, discounts).
- 4x Life Assurance.
- Professional development opportunities (apprenticeships & qualifications).
- Two additional paid volunteering days.
