Are you looking for flexibility, choosing to pick up Night shifts when it suits you?
Working as part of our growing Accommodation-Based Services team, you'll get a chance to be trained and work in a flexible way, covering night shifts when our staff are on leave.
What kind of person are we looking for?
Well, if you're the type of person who loves working nights, likes to keep busy during quiet shifts, and is always happy to talk and help people, you're off to a great start.
We are looking for a Casual/Bank Night Worker (internally known as a Building Supervisor) to work night shifts when needed in our supported accommodation buildings, which provide 24/7 housing and support for young people aged 16-25, who were homeless or at risk of homelessness in Gloucester.
Are you ready to make a difference in people's lives?
Your focus will be to ensure that our buildings are safe and secure for our residents who live there, as a member of the team you will be a point of contact for residents to ensure the home is safe and secure. This will also involve liaising with support staff to ensure a good flow of information between shifts through handovers.
The role has a broad set of responsibilities, this can include: ensuring you are aware of who is on-site, keeping the building clean, tidy and presentable, undertaking light maintenance duties, and engaging with residents who may need someone to listen to them.
As safety and security are paramount within this role, you will be expected to defuse any situations that may affect the health, safety or well-being of residents. A key function is to undertake health and safety checks and walkarounds throughout your shift. You will need to adopt sound judgement to either resolve situations yourself or seek support from peers and emergency services if needed. Demonstrating empathy and patience towards our residents is essential.
There will be tailored, specific training that will help you advance through a training pathway and progress during your career at CCP. We promote Health, Wellbeing, Diversity, and inclusion in all our services and our staff, you will help us to achieve this.
You'll work as part of a tight-knit team of Night Building Supervisors, Support Workers, and a Project Manager.
Experience in interacting with a diverse cross-section of society would be useful in this role. However, this is not essential as training & induction will be given.
We want people that are empathetic, driven, and able to motivate others. We recruit people that embrace opportunity and are willing to learn and reflect. We want people that can help CCP to transform lives.
