About the Job

We are looking to recruit a Project Worker to work at Morning Star Hostel, in Hulme, to ensure a smooth-running service for the accommodation.

As a Project Worker you will work as part of a team to provide a safe and high standard of supported accommodation. You will ensure residents are supported to improve their health, well-being and develop independent living skills, before being supported to move into independent private rented tenancies. You will also help support with other services including education and training to help our residents move on into employment.

You will have great customer service skills, have a strengths-based approach and be motivated and confident enough to help enable people who are homeless to find and be able to maintain long term housing solutions. Experience of working with people that are homeless and may be vulnerable or disadvantaged groups in a residential/similar setting is essential. You will have good IT and admin skills and a positive approach to team working.

The hours of the role are on a 2-week rota, working the following shift pattern:

Week 1

9am – 5pm, Monday to Friday

Week 2

1pm – 9pm, Monday to Friday

You must have experience of working with people that are homeless in supported housing.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and we reserve the right to interview/ appoint before the closing date. Early applications are therefore strongly encouraged.
