Centrepoint is delighted to be recruiting a Support & Progression Officer to join our Barnsley services, our Ofsted-registered semi-independent supported accommodation service for young people aged 16 to 18. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of young people, and in return we offer a competitive salary and excellent benefits.
We provide a safe, supportive and nurturing environment where young people can build confidence, develop independence and gain the skills they need to successfully transition into adulthood. Our dedicated team works alongside young people to support them in achieving positive outcomes in education, training, employment and independent living.
Through personalised support, practical life skills development and our accredited in-house independent living programme, Lifewise, we empower young people to develop the resilience, knowledge and confidence needed to achieve their goals and build a positive future. We offer more than accommodation; we provide a place where young people can feel at home, thrive and reach their full potential.
The Role
The Service Manager is responsible for overall service delivery and performance management, providing effective leadership to achieve high-quality outcomes for young people and working in partnership with Social Services teams.
