Youth Housing Adviser - Teignbridge
Based at Newton Abbot YES (Youth Enquiry Centre)
Actual Salary: £20,009.60
Permanent Contract
29.6 hours a week (Some flexibility)
From our experience, the main reason young people become homeless in Teignbridge is through relationships breaking down with the family they live with. We offer support when things start to go wrong, through information, advice, advocacy and family mediation, helping them to navigate their situation.
We work in partnership with Teignbridge District Council, supporting young people, aged 16-18 and those that are care-experienced up to 25, who may have experienced multiple disadvantages.
This role gives you the opportunity to engage and work alongside young people, supporting them to maintain or access accommodation. You will be building relationships of trust and understanding, whilst responding to their needs through a trauma-informed lens. Together, we help them to make decisions, have their voice heard, obtain the services they need and achieve their housing aspirations.
Knowledge on housing protocols, legislation & housing options would be an advantage, however, training will be given for this specialised post. It’s a great opportunity to build a career in this sector.
