Independent Living Skills Coach - Weekend

Imagine this…

A person has just moved into West Farm after months of instability. They’re unsure, maybe guarded, but you start by cooking a simple meal together. Over time, you help them learn to budget, manage a tenancy, and rebuild confidence. You’re not just teaching skills, you’re helping someone believe they can thrive independently, while knowing they’ve got someone they can trust walking alongside them.

The opportunity

We have two roles available offering weekend working: one role working Saturday & Sunday 7.30am > 3.30pm.

The second role working Saturday & Sunday 1pm > 9pm.

As an Independent Living Skills Coach, you’ll walk alongside them, helping them cook a meal, budget for bills, apply for college, or simply believe in themselves again.

What you’ll be doing

• Act as a coach and keyworker, co-creating 'My Journey' plans with young people.
• Build supportive relationships rooted in trust and respect.
• Deliver life skills sessions, activities and accredited programmes.
• Support young people before, during, and after they move on to independence.

What we’re looking for

• A natural coach — someone who can inspire, guide and encourage.
• Empathy for young people with complex needs and resilience when challenges arise.
• Creativity to find solutions that unlock potential.

In return, we offer a competitive and supportive benefits package, including:

• 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 31 days
• Westfield Healthcare Cash Back Plan (including cashback for optical, dental, therapies, plus 24/7 GP access and counselling support)

• Financial support options, including season ticket loans, emergency loans, mortgage advice and wellbeing support
