Jobs First Development and Support Worker
Vacancy Details
As a charity and social enterprise, our vision is a society where no one should have to be homeless. We challenge the status quo by pioneering solutions that create lasting change, whether that’s by supporting people to find a safe place to call home, empowering and enabling people to get a job, or by providing free, fresh food to people in situation of homelessness or in food poverty.
We are looking for someone to join our successful programme Jobs First that aims to provide employment opportunities to people in situation of homelessness. In Aberdeen we will work with young people, age between 16 – 24. We are looking for a person who will build on our existing relationships with our employer partners and supporting in developing new relationships to offer a wide range of employment opportunities to young people.
We need a dynamic, creative and reliable team member who can use their own initiative to build strong relationships with various stakeholders. In this role you will be working closely with Programme Co-ordinator to create opportunities for:
- young people to gain employment,
- charities to establish referral pathways,
- building local level relationships to build brand awareness with partnering employers.
Are you ready to be a part of our dynamic and passionate Social Impact team, dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of others? We are looking for someone who thrives in a role full of variety, where each day offers something new.
Do you have experience supporting and developing young people facing homelessness? Are you eager to join a collaborative team working towards ending homelessness? If you enjoy taking initiative and working closely with people, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! As part of your role, you will need to travel across various locations, bringing your resilience, positive attitude, and a smile to every challenge.
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!
