We have been operating in the area for a number of years and offer a staffed service to our residents aged 18 and upwards.

Responsible for helping and inspiring the people who use our services, we’ll rely on you to work with them to come up with a personal support plan that will see them achieve their goals and aspirations. Whether it’s developing their domestic and finance management skills or accessing work, leisure or educational opportunities, one thing’s for sure – you will have every chance to shine.

Candidates with an understanding of mental health issues would be welcomed and full training will be provided. More important is your caring and compassionate nature and empathy and enthusiasm for helping others. Whatever your background, you’ll need to be happy to work both independently and within a team and willing to be part of a weekly rota system and available for on call duties.

In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.

This is a permanent, part-time role requiring you to work 30 hours a week.  

This is a rolling recruitment process. Candidates will be interviewed as and when they are shortlisted.

More than one in four children is growing up in poverty in the UK. It doesn’t have to be this way. If you have a track record in trusts fundraising and believe in tackling social and economic injustice, then you could play an important role in helping Child Poverty Action Group deliver on its mission.

You will have outstanding communication skills, a highly organised approach to work, strong self-motivation and enjoy working in a small team.

We understand that many people, especially people who identify as women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds or from other underrepresented groups, only apply for jobs when they believe they match all the criteria. If you don’t meet all the criteria in the person specification and want to play a role in helping to tackle UK child poverty, please consider applying.

We operate a hybrid working system and would be happy to discuss any flexibilities required. CPAG is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion which you can read more about in the job pack.
