Young Persons Support Worker – The Foyer, Bath

£25,878 per annum + benefits | Bath | Full Time

Permanent | 37 hours per week | Thursdays 11am - 7pm, otherwise standard office hours

Your Support. Their Future. Real Change.

At The Foyer in Bath, we work alongside young people aged 18 to 25 who have experienced homelessness - many after family breakdown or long periods of sofa surfing. Every story that comes through our doors is different and our job is to make sure every young person feels heard, safe and supported to build the life they want next.

This is a chance to do work that genuinely changes lives. As a Young Persons Support Worker, you'll join a close-knit, supportive team based at our 31-flat Foyer site, working directly with residents to help them settle in, find their feet and move on with confidence.

You'll be backed by an experienced Team Leader and full training, so if you bring the right values and the willingness to learn, we'll help you develop the rest.

What you'll be doing

• Building trusting relationships with young people and delivering tailored, person-centred support plans that help them sustain their accommodation

• Welcoming new residents through sign-ups and inductions, making sure they understand their tenancy and the support on offer

• Supporting residents with budgeting, rent management and the practical skills that make independent living possible

• Spotting safeguarding concerns early and responding in line with policy and statutory guidance

• Working in partnership with internal teams and external agencies — from B&NES Housing Options to Social Services, Off the Record and Probation — to deliver coordinated support

• Encouraging residents to get involved in their community and shape the service through their feedback and ideas

• Keeping accurate records that evidence the difference you're making

• A clear commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion

Desirable:

• Experience developing support plans and risk assessments, and monitoring outcome

• Knowledge of social housing or tenure legislation

• Awareness of local training, employment and education pathways for young people

This role requires an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which we'll arrange when you start.
