The Whitechapel Centre is a Liverpool based charity which provides support to people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and / or have support needs. We offer help with building confidence, developing independent living skills and supporting people to address substance use or other health and wellbeing issues.
Our Assessment Hub provides short-term emergency accommodation for people who are new to rough sleeping. We support residents to move quickly into suitable longer-term accommodation, including private rented housing. Now, with newly awarded funding from the Steve Morgan Foundation, we're looking to expand opportunities for the young people we work with. This exciting investment will create even more opportunities for people to engage in meaningful activities, gain valuable training qualifications, volunteer in the community and access employment opportunities that support long-term independence and success..
Applications are invited against the following post:
Vocational Guidance Worker — NJC SCP 17–22 (£31,022–£33,699 per annum, pay award pending), 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday with some flexibility to operate outside these hours by arrangement.
You will develop, deliver, monitor and review individually tailored learning and development support that helps people build the skills and knowledge they need to secure and sustain accommodation, training and employment.
With experience in a relevant homelessness, mental health, offending, treatment or support setting, together with first-class training, learning and development skills, you will have a proven track record of delivering multifaceted services to people with a wide range of needs. Your strong relationships with partners and local agencies will help participants make the best use of appropriate services and networks.
