About this job

We are the only high support accommodation‑based service for young people in Bristol and pioneer the way for supporting young people in the city.

We are a leading youth homelessness charity based in the Southwest, working with over 1,500 young people.

At 1625ip we are driven by Social Justice and Passion: we strive to do something that matters and take pride in seeing the results of our work in social outcomes and improving young people’s lives.

How we work: Our service is rooted in Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) and Trauma‑Informed Practice (TIP). Our Psychologically Informed Framework shapes how we build relationships, use our spaces, and support young people.

  • We’ll support you to learn and develop these approaches in the role.

What you will be doing:

By using a creative and flexible approach, you will facilitate lots of varied positive engagement over weekends.

By being well organised, efficient, and effective, you will help with support and a whole host of housing management tasks, from running an activity to helping clean a room.

By being vigilant and responsible, you will ensure the security of the building when on shift.

By using your understanding of the complex needs of young people, as well as your problem‑solving skills, you will manage challenging behaviour when it happens.

By co‑ordinating and co‑delivering activities on site, including residents’ meetings, you will work with individuals and groups of young people so that they are encouraged to meaningfully occupy their time and get involved.

You will be working weekends, including some Fridays, and will be based in the High Support Team.

Your line manager will be the St George’s House Senior Project Worker.

We believe in your potential and are committed to providing training and support to help you thrive.

Hours and Location

  • Hours per week: 20 on average, as some weeks you’ll work 16 hours (Sat/Sun) and some weeks you’ll work 24 hours (Fri/Sat/Sun)
  • (This represents 0.5 FTE)
  • Contract type: Permanent
  • Pay: £26,824 – £28,142 per annum (pro rata based on 0.5 FTE)
  • The location: You will be based in St George’s House, close to Bristol’s main bus station as well as the vibrant city centre.

Diversity and Inclusion

We aim to build a more diverse workforce that reflects the young people we support, including those from migrant, refugee and asylum‑seeking communities. We warmly encourage applications from individuals who are currently under‑represented, such as people from Black/Black British backgrounds, Muslim, and male candidates, and anyone with relevant lived experience.

All applications are handled in a manner that respects fair employment practices and EEO compliance. If you need an adjustment to be made to any part of the recruitment process, please let us know as soon as possible.
