Do you need flexibility in the days you work? Our bank roles (sometimes referred to as “relief roles” in other companies) mean that you will be able to choose from available shifts and have the benefits of a consistent workplace combined with opportunity to build positive relationships with the individuals we support. However you aren’t guaranteed shifts every week as hours are worked as and when required.

We have a rewarding opportunity for a Bank Project Worker to join our team. Linden Road has 10 rooms in a shared house. We provide support for young people aged 16 to 25 who are at risk of homelessness.

Residents are encouraged to develop their skills and live as independently as possible. Working closely and in partnership with statutory agencies, including Social Services, Youth Services and the Local Authorities, we support our young clients to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully move on into independent accommodation.

If you want to make a positive impact to people’s lives, this is a rewarding opportunity to come and work within an established and experienced team.
