Due to the expansion of the Supported Lodgings service across Nottingham, an exciting opportunity has arisen to join our growing team.
Supported Lodgings is the provision of accommodation and support to care experienced young people between the ages of 16 and 21, within a home environment (either with an individual or family). Supported Lodgings hosts provide the support and guidance the young person needs to develop the skills for their move on to independent living.
We are looking to recruit to a part time post which will be based both at our office in Beeston and at home. Working hours will predominantly be office hours during the working week, however there may be the need to work flexibly at times. The role will include travel, primarily within Nottingham City but also the local surrounding areas.
The primary objectives of this post are:
- To support the expansion of the service within the new Ofsted requirements. This will include recruitment and assessment of potential hosts.
- To promote the service in order to encourage applications from people who are able to provide supported lodgings accommodation.
- To train and supervise hosts.
- To publicise the service within the Local Authority in such a way as to encourage referrals for young people seeking Supported Lodgings accommodation, followed by careful and responsible matching of young person to host.
When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document (if applicable). This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described.
Although this contract has a permanent status, please be aware that this post is subject to funding currently to 30th June 2026 and therefore should this funding not be extended further, you may be subject to a redundancy consultation or a TUPE arrangement
Please note due to the high volume of applications for some posts, this advert might close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.
