About The Role

Imagine this… A person has just moved into West Farm after months of instability. They’re unsure, maybe guarded, but you start by cooking a simple meal together. Over time, you help them learn to budget, manage a tenancy, and rebuild confidence. You’re not just teaching skills, you’re helping someone believe they can thrive independently, while knowing they’ve got someone they can trust walking alongside them.

Working Hours

We have a role available offering weekday working Mon – Fri 6pm – 9pm.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Act as a coach and keyworker, co‑creating ‘My Journey’ plans.
  • Build supportive relationships rooted in trust and respect.
  • Deliver life skills sessions, activities and accredited programmes.
  • Support young people before, during, and after they move on to independence.

About The Candidate

  • A natural coach — someone who can inspire, guide and encourage.
  • Empathy for young people with complex needs and resilience when challenges arise.
  • Creativity to find solutions that unlock potential.

As an equal opportunities’ employer, Salvation Army Homes is committed to the equal treatment of all current and prospective employees and does not condone discrimination on the basis of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership.
