Full time & part time role available.
About Jimmy’s Cambridge
Jimmy’s Cambridge is one of Cambridge’s leading providers of support and accommodation to people who are and have been experiencing homelessness. We aim to help people get people off the streets and into their own home, backed up with all the support we can offer from our talented and committed team of staff, volunteers and partners.
The Role
The Support Worker will provide a wide range of support to the residents using current best practice. The service will be person-centred, and since the service is for people with a range of needs, will include a focus on harm minimisation, on recovery which will take time and not be straight-forward, and providing a service which has clear boundaries but has flexibility considering the aims of the service. Residents are often active at night, meaning that night shifts offer a vital opportunity for them to engage in support work.
About You
You will come with some knowledge of the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness, along with a genuine interest and drive to support them. You will be well organised with the ability to evidence a high standard of resident support.
Essential to this role is having great communication skills, and an ability to quickly build trusting relationships with people. You must have a willingness to be ‘hands on’ as required.
Training will be offered to people who have all the right skills and competencies, but perhaps are new to working with this group of people.
