About Us
akt is the UK’s national LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity. Founded in 1989, we operate service centres in London, Manchester and Newcastle and provide support across the UK through our Digital Service. Last year, akt worked with over 1,150 vulnerable young people. We exist because of a simple but powerful thought that no young person should have to choose between a safe home and being who they are. Today, young LGBTQ+ people are still at an increased risk of homelessness and are twice as likely to end up hidden homeless than their peers. akt provides support and routes to safe homes so that young people can thrive.
The Team
This role sits within akt Manchester services team as part of the Manchester team and is supervised by the Manchester Service Manager. Other members of the team include two caseworkers.
Job Summary
The role is to provide floating support to LGBTQIA+ young people in the community using person‑centred, trauma‑informed and solution‑focused approaches to provide support. This role also provides young people affected by domestic abuse with support, advice and guidance to prevent homelessness. You will work alongside a team of caseworkers to give one‑to‑one support and access to youth engagement provision to enable young people to thrive in their communities and remain safe and free from harm.
