You’ll thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with colleagues and partner agencies on safeguarding, welfare, and risk concerns. With a proactive approach and a genuine desire to support others, you’ll embody our values:

• Be kind
• Do the right thing
• Love new ideas
• Celebrate diversity
• Keep our promises
• Pull together

You’ll also be prepared to work shifts, including some weekends and bank holidays, to ensure continuous support for our residents.

• Understand how to assist vulnerable adults in managing their tenancy or accommodation.
• Be skilled in promoting recovery and independence through effective recovery/support plans.
• Show empathy and align with Peabody’s values when working with a vulnerable client group.
• Be proficient in written English to document and communicate effectively.

When applying, please state in your personal statement why you meet the criteria for this role and how your skills and experience align with our mission and values.

Benefits of Joining Peabody

We value our employees and offer a range of benefits, including:

• 25 days’ annual holiday, plus bank holidays.

“The facilitator is a friend and teacher mixed into one… she gets the reasoning from the teacher and the understanding bit from the friend.” - Power2 Rediscover Young Person

Power2 is a fast growing and energetic children and young people’s charity that has supported 25,000 young people since 2001.  We are based in the North West of England and London and deliver early-intervention asset-based programmes to children and young people who have mental wellbeing challenges and are disengaged from school and more widely. We are well-known for our accredited Teens and Toddlers programme.

We believe every child and young person deserves the opportunity to thrive, even when things get tougher. We support young people to get the most out of their education by helping them to improve their mental health and wellbeing and develop their skills. We inspire young people who are at significant risk of school exclusion to re-engage and fulfil their potential at school, at work and in life.

Our work is growing and we are looking for new Programme Leads to deliver our programmes so that all children and young people, regardless of their needs, feel they belong and can prosper.

Work will include 1:1 support and delivery of Power2’s core programmes, including Teens and Toddlers and Power2 Progress. The successful candidates could be based in one school or travel between multiple schools.

The relationships you cultivate with the young people you work with are at the heart of our success – so recruiting the right people is paramount. Our facilitators work with significant autonomy and authority and must embrace responsibility and be accountable for their work. They work collaboratively alongside young people, operating as a mentor as they empower young people to develop self-esteem, become resilient and engage with school and their own future. They give each young person the time, the confidence and skills to engage with their education and their future life plans.
