The Leonard Stocks Centre is a homeless hostel based in Torquay. We offer accommodation to 28 males and females, all of which have experienced street homelessness.

Whilst on shift, you will work alongside our support workers ensuring that residents are safe and have everything they need. The role includes welcoming residents into the building, health and safety checks, welfare checks, and dealing with any issues.
We have two vacancies available for this role. If you have any questions about the role, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

The check will reveal any spent and unspent convictions and adult cautions (which have not been filtered), any local Police information, and a check of either the Adult, Child, or Adult and Child Barred Lists.
