About The RoleImagine this… You walk into a place where young people feel safe and heard. A place where they’re encouraged to be aspirational, to build confidence, and to take steps towards independence.

The opportunity We’re opening a new supported housing service in Weymouth, Dorset, and we’re looking for someone who can bring vision, energy and compassion.

You’ll likely have experience of supporting young people or those affected by homelessness and trauma. You’ll understand that resilience and empathy go hand in hand. Most importantly, you’ll believe in people — even when they’re struggling to believe in themselves.
