At Nacro, we believe that everyone deserves a good education, a safe and secure place to live, the right to be heard, and the chance to start again, with support from someone on their side.

That's why our housing, education, justice, and health and wellbeing services work alongside people to give them the support and skills they need to succeed. And it's why we fight for their voices to be heard and campaign together to create lasting change.

We see your future, whatever the past.

This role requires regular travel across an allocated area and therefore, a full valid UK driving license and access to your own vehicle with business insurance are essential.

Our aim is to inspire the Young People we support to be ambitious and embrace new opportunities. We enable them to have new experiences and develop new skills to become independent and we support them in their transition to adulthood.

Are you passionate helping others? Do you want to make a positive impact every day you come to work? If the answer is yes, then look no further!

Here at NEST, we are commissioned by Lincolnshire County Council Children Services to provide accommodation and support to 16–21-year-olds across the county of Lincolnshire.

This role is based at one of our hubs located Lincoln where we offer safe accommodation and support for up to 26 young people.

In this role you will work evenings as part of a dedicated 24-hour staff team supporting the journey of our Young People from move in to move on.

The role offers a unique opportunity to support and work with individuals, not just for them — encouraging active participation in shaping their own support, facilitating groups, and delivering meaningful activities that promote well-being and connection.

Most of our young people have experienced some level of childhood trauma and as such they all have a variety of support needs varying from substance misuse, undiagnosed learning needs, a lack of independent living skills, offending behaviours and mental health needs.

NEST is a very busy place to work, whilst we plan in advance the ability to react and deliver the support our Young People need when they need it, is critical.

We don't do personal care, restraints, or community supervision here. Our young people are capable individuals we treat with respect, actively preparing them for independence. You'll be their guide, using creativity to encourage their participation in support sessions. There's paperwork involved (action planning, safety planning, monitoring), but it's all about documenting their progress!

Nacro is fair and inclusive employer

At Nacro, we believe in the power of a diverse and inclusive team. We are a Ban the Box employer and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those with criminal records. Convictions are not discussed at application stage and will only be considered later if relevant to the role, assessed fairly, proportionately and confidentially.
