37 hours per week

Do you want to WOW customers and join a forward thinking social housing company who want to invest and develop in a career that grows with you? Our client’s Work Wise team is looking for a positive and dynamic person to join their high performing team.

Our client has been ranked in the top 50 in The Sunday Times Top 100 Best Not-for-Profit Organisations to work for in the whole of the UK. They are one of the largest landlords in the South West, with a diverse portfolio of affordable and market rented homes.

This exciting role has come up due to internal promotion. You’ll be working with 19 to 55 year olds, supporting them to overcome barriers they face in accessing education, training and employment opportunities by delivering activities out in the community.

You’ll be travelling around Bath and surrounding areas working with partners and recruiting customers to engage in the service, carrying out drop in sessions and running a programme of activities.

Whilst you will be part of the Work Wise team, this role is very autonomous so you will be encouraged to take control of your own workload and develop projects in line with the funding requirements.

You will be confident working one to one or with small groups, delivering activities to build confidence and self-esteem, teach and develop employability skills and support people to participate in meaningful occupation. In addition to teaching budgeting and life skills, the project aims to bring out the best in people through creativity, music and outdoor activities.

You’ll have relevant training or teaching experience and the ability to deliver training to vulnerable people, together with an understanding of education, training, employment and supported housing or project based youth work.

You’ll be highly self-motivated and possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills to enable you to liaise effectively with colleagues in the Work Wise team and external agencies.

You will have a basic understanding of safeguarding for vulnerable adults and our client will build on this by increasing your knowledge.

At the same time you will demonstrate resilience and the desire to work in an interesting environment where no day is ever the same!

You will need to take up an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Check for this role.

You’ll be based in Bath and the surrounding areas, out and about in the community so you will need to be able to travel.

What will you get in return?

We think you’ll have a job that makes you feel good about what you’re doing – you will make a difference to customers’ lives every day.

You’ll get:

-Additional day annual leave on your birthday

-26 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays) rising to 29 after 3 years’ service

-Opportunity to earn additional performance related pay

-Company Pension contribution of up to 10%

-Flexible Benefits including health care, gym membership, additional holiday purchase
