About us: Porchlight is a charity supporting people who are homeless, vulnerable and isolated. At Porchlight, we are passionate about helping vulnerable people to reach their full potential.

A patient, compassionate understanding of individuals who have spent many years on the street and who may find it difficult to engage with mainstream services.

Excellent communication, administrative and negotiation skills. Enjoy working both as part of a busy team and independently within the community. A passion for working in a client focused manner and be committed to achieving positive outcomes for the people you support. An ability to set clear goals and boundaries to empower clients identify with and reach their full potential. A high level of resilience and the ability to work under sustained pressure.

Benefits: As a member of the Porchlight team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

free life insurance
flexible working hours
25 days holiday per year (increasing to 30 days after 5 years service)
