Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, is looking for X2 Support and Progression Officers to join our team based in our brand-new Bournemouth Services. A driver’s licence is desirable due to dispersed nature of services.

About Us

We help vulnerable young people by giving them the practical and emotional support they need to find a job and live independently. Centrepoint provides homeless young people with accommodation, health support and life skills to get them back into education, training and employment. We want to end youth homelessness by 2037.

Together with our partners, we support over 16,000 young people each year.

Service Information

The Bournemouth Service is a mixture of specifically sourced properties suitable for complex young people. We currently have a building containing 8 s/c flats with one of these being used as the office base for staff. The remaining properties for young people are dispersed throughout BCP, in areas such as Poole, Christchurch but mainly the Bournemouth area at present. We are a team of Support and Progression Officers as well as Night Supported Housing Assistants, providing 24 hour support to our young people.

We offer all young people within our service a high level of support, ranging from basic house and life skills, through to arranging courses and providing additional support to other areas of general life. Having a property is the first step to living independently but as a team, we support, provide and guide our young people to becoming members of the community.

Can work independently, as part of a team, and alongside a range of external partners.
Have strong communication skills.

25 days of annual leave per year, rising by one day per year to a maximum of 27 days
Healthcare cash plan (Cover the costs of a wide range of medical treatment including Dental, Optical, Complementary and Alternative therapies).
