The Vacancy

Co-ordinating the delivery of support for young people in line with their Individual Support Plan. For young people supported in Llamau Project Houses, this will include delegating some tasks to be completed by Support Assistants / Night Workers, and ensuring completion of these tasks.

Principal Duties:

• Key-work, negotiate and agree Support Plans / Reviews and goals with individual young people.
• Oversee all aspects of service and support delivery for those young people, ensuring the whole team provides the highest quality service to all young people, partners and funders for both Project Houses and Floating Support schemes.
• Flexibility around working times is required to meet the needs and wishes of young people, encourage maximum engagement in support, and achieve the best possible outcomes for individual’s lives.
• To build/maintain positive working relationships with partnership agencies, limiting duplication for the young person, and ensuring all of their needs are met.

At Llamau we believe that no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Our mission is to eradicate homelessness for young people and vulnerable women. But for thousands of the most vulnerable people in Wales, homelessness is a frightening reality.

30 years ago Llamau was founded to provide homeless teenagers with a safe place to stay. Since then, we have supported over 67,000 young people, women and their children who are either homeless or facing homelessness.

Many people think the job of a homelessness charity will be to provide accommodation – a safe place to stay. But it is very clear to us that for most people who are facing homelessness, their problems are far more complex than a lack of permanent shelter.

That’s why we treat everyone who needs our support as an individual. We recognise their unique strengths and needs and make sure that they are supported to rebuild their futures.
