Responsibilities
Supporting young people
You'll deliver our programmes and work one-to-one with care-experienced young people across London. You'll manage a caseload of young people and be a positive role model to those you're supporting.
Working with delivery partners
You’ll be working closely with our delivery partners to ensure the young people are getting the best support out there. Whether that’s liaising with social landlords or local debt advice charities.
Collecting crucial impact data and evidencing impact
You’ll be meticulous in ensuring you collect and report high quality data, understanding that this information is crucial to demonstrating our impact to funders and clients. You’ll ensure your notes and our databases are up to date with accurate information.
Working collaboratively
You'll work closely with other Settle Coaches and the wider team to ensure you are learning from them and they are learning from your experiences. You’ll collaborate with others in order to make decisions. You will contribute to an inclusive working environment for everyone.
Getting stuck in
We are a small but growing team and you'll be ready and excited to get stuck into new projects and opportunities as they arise - stretching yourself and developing your expertise.
What we're looking for
We are looking for a driven individual, with the relevant skills to provide high quality support to a small caseload of young people to ensure we give the very best we can to the young people we work with. We are interested in someone who is passionate about developing their frontline skills and supporting care experienced young people to achieve their goals.
You’ll feel comfortable working with people from a range of backgrounds including other professionals. You will seek opportunities for the young people you support and advocate for them during tricky moments. You will utilise creative thinking to broaden awareness of Settle within our referral partners when opportunity arises.
We are looking for a compassionate individual, with an understanding of the value in collecting high quality data. You are someone who is keen to learn about best practice and incorporate your work into our external communications.
Having recently started delivering support to young people living in the private rented sector, we are particularly interested in applicants with an understanding of this work, and/or experience delivering support to individuals living in the private rented sector as well as the social housing sector.
Care-experienced applicants
Settle is committed to increasing the representation of lived experience of the care system in our team. Therefore, care-experienced applicants who meet the essential criteria in the job description will be guaranteed an interview.
‘Care-experienced’ means you have been “looked after” by your local authority at any point, for any length of time before turning 18. This includes living with foster carers, in a residential children's home, being looked after at home with a supervision order, living with relatives or friends in kinship care, being adopted and previously looked after. This also covers asylum seekers who arrived in the UK without an adult with parental responsibility also known as Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children.
If this applies to you, please mention this in your application and we will follow up to request some evidence (such as a letter from a social worker or PA).
