Every young person deserves someone who believes in them.
At St Basils, our Progression Coaches do just that. Every day, you'll help young people experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness, build confidence, develop life skills and take positive steps towards independent living. It's challenging work, but it's also some of the most rewarding you'll ever do.
We're looking for passionate, resilient and motivated people to join our Supported Housing and Progression team. If you're looking for a career where every day has purpose and every success, no matter how small, can change a young person's future, we'd love to hear from you.
About the role
As a Progression Coach, you'll work alongside young people to create personalised support plans that help them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. You'll provide practical guidance, emotional support and encouragement, helping them build the confidence and resilience they need to thrive.
One day you might be helping a young person settle into their accommodation; the next, supporting them into education, employment or training, celebrating a new job, or simply being the trusted person they need during a difficult time. Every day is different, but every day you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference.
Working as part of a supportive multi-disciplinary team within a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE), you'll build positive relationships with young people, colleagues and partner organisations. You'll contribute to creating safe, welcoming accommodation, deliver activities that promote wellbeing and personal development, maintain accurate records, and ensure safeguarding remains at the heart of everything you do.
About you
We're looking for someone with experience supporting young people or vulnerable adults within housing, youth work, social care, education or a similar environment.
You'll be someone who:
- Builds positive, trusting relationships.
- Communicates with empathy and confidence.
- Can motivate and inspire others to achieve their goals.
- Remains calm and professional when faced with challenges.
- Works well as part of a team.
- Is committed to safeguarding, equality, inclusion and person-centred support.
Most importantly, you'll believe that every young person deserves the chance to build a brighter future.
Why join St Basils?
At St Basils, you'll become part of one of the UK's leading youth homelessness organisations, helping more than 5,000 young people each year. We don't just provide accommodation; we help young people discover their strengths, realise their potential and build brighter futures.
You'll be joining a supportive, values-driven team where your wellbeing matters, your ideas are welcomed, and you'll have opportunities to learn, develop and progress your career.
In return, we offer:
- Competitive salary.
- Generous annual leave.
- Pension scheme.
- Wellbeing support.
- Employee discounts.
- Ongoing training and professional development.
- A supportive team that celebrates success and supports one another.
"There's so much uncertainty for our young people. I've always wanted to support people who've had a harder start in life. Seeing so many young people struggling with the cost-of-living crisis made me want to be part of something that actually makes a difference. It's so rewarding."
If you are passionate about helping young people build brighter futures and want to be part of an organisation that makes a difference every day, we would love to hear from you.
