You
We're looking for a passionate and proactive Housing Support Officer to join our progressive Housing team in Romford.
You'll support the day-to-day running of our hostel, helping young people who face social exclusion prepare for independent living. With experience in support work - such as drug recovery, working with offenders, or life skills training - you'll guide residents through personalised support plans, manage a caseload, and help them maintain their tenancies.
What you'll bring:
Thank you for your interest in finding out more about YMCA Thames Gateway Group. Whether you're looking for your first role, coming back to work after a career break, or simply looking for a new challenge, we're happy you're considering us.
As a community-based organisation for over 150 years, we are a vibrant and ever-changing charity that offers inclusive programmes in health & wellbeing, childcare, housing and youth work. We are passionate about providing opportunities to those who are most in need. We successfully adapt to the needs of the communities in which we're based - during the pandemic we were able to provide food hampers to families in need, childcare support to keyworkers, and stayed in touch with our senior citizens group who, for many, attending our social groups is a lifeline.
Our staff are dedicated to making other people's lives better through the services we provide, so if this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, we look forward to hearing from you.
