Do you want to make a difference?
Are you passionate about supporting people to make positive changes in their lives?
The Salvation Army operates over 80 supported accommodation services across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. We call these services ‘Lifehouses’ because they are more than a place to stay. They are places where people can get support with their housing issues - but also find support with other aspects of their lives such as employment, debt problems, training, spirituality, loneliness, addiction or mental health.
Skinnergate Lifehouse supports people to achieve their life goals, work towards longer term independent living, and change the face of homelessness.
We are seeking to recruit a motivated individual who has a genuine desire to support and work with vulnerable homeless adults.
Our Assistant Support Worker works as a fundamental part of the team and is responsible for managing a busy front office environment including dealing with telephone and face to face enquiries, engaging with clients, staff and external visitors. You will be available to support Clients if need be during the night and you will demonstrate good communication skills and be empathetic in nature. You be willing to work within the Christian ethos of the Salvation Army.
