Are you passionate about supporting young people who are homeless and would like to help them achieve their ambitions and goals? Are you looking to join a team where small changes can make a big difference? If so then we have a great opportunity for you to join Ayrshire Youth Support Service.
Ayrshire Youth Support Service provides support to young people aged 16-25 years who are homeless. The aim of the service is to provide quality support and build professional relationships to enable young people to sustain their tenancy and reduce repeat homelessness.
'The Promise' is that Scotland's children and young people will grow up loved, safe and respected. As a transition mentor you will be expected to embrace this approach to the support you deliver. You will work closely with the young people exploring opportunities for them within employment, education and community integration. Some of the young people we support have experienced severe trauma in their young lives and you will provide guidance and support to ensure they are safe and feel heard.
Ayrshire Youth Support Service is a 24 hour residential support accommodation service with all young people having their own tenancies.
Transition mentors work on a rolling 3 week rota.
What you need to succeed/bring to the role
1. Compassion and kindness to support young people in their day to lives.
