About the Job
Morning Star hostel provides a pathway out of homelessness for single men with low support needs and it provides high-quality, single-room accommodation with 24-hour staffing for 20 men in Hulme. Therefore, we are looking to recruit a Night Project Worker to work overnight to ensure a smooth-running service for our hostel. You will provide a friendly and professional welcome to residents coming in and out of the building, as well as spending time with residents when they are in communal areas. You will ensure high standards of cleanliness and comfort in the building to create a welcoming atmosphere, as well as taking pride in the appearance of the building and facilities.
You will assist in the smooth running of the accommodation/hostel such as maintaining a safe environment, monitoring CCTV, answering telephone calls, and undertaking health and safety checks. You will also log information for the day staff and provide a detailed handover. Additionally, you will maintain the security of the building and report any incidents or accidents to on-call staff/emergency services. Residents will be supported by signposting them to support services, responding to any need for first aid, as well as abiding by service procedures and guidance.
Minimum Requirements: Experience of working within a residential setting or similar and interaction with people that are homeless is essential.
If this sounds like the next step you are looking for and you would like to work in a service passionate about supporting people to find new homes and rebuild their lives, then we would love to hear from you!
