Our Springboard Foyer in Rochester has a fantastic working atmosphere and we’re looking for someone who shares our values to come and help us deliver great services to the young people living there. In return you’ll get a great benefits package and be encouraged to have a healthy work/life balance.
The foyer is home to nine vulnerable young adults aged between 16 and 25. With your expert support and guidance, they’ll eventually be able to live independently within their local community.


The hours are part time (14 hours per week), as shown below:

Saturdays: 8.00 am to 3.30 pm (1/2 hour unpaid break), i.e. 7 hours
Sundays: 8.00 am to 3.30 pm (1/2 hour unpaid break), i.e. 7 hours

•Reporting any incidents, as appropriate
•Completing a handover to the next person on duty, ensuring they are aware of any reportable incident or occurrence
•Regular cleaning duties, ensuring the project and grounds are maintained in a clean and tidy condition
•Preparing empty rooms for re-letting

We offer:
