Staying Close provides an offer of move-on accommodation, alongside a package of practical and emotional support, provided by a Support Adviser and support staff. These bespoke packages of support help develop their confidence and skills for independent living, and for their emotional health and wellbeing.

Your role will manage and monitor a caseload of Young People, aged 18-24 years old, who have varied and often complex levels of needs. You will ensure that Care Experienced adults, and those transitioning into adulthood, are placed at the center of our service, are treated courteously, with respect and fairness, and that their voices are heard. Your role will be fully focused on the needs of the Care Experienced, and be led by those needs in the decisions you are making. You will oversee the day to day running of the supported accommodation, and other practical issues for Young People, and be able to provide solutions or referrals where necessary. You will be passionate about making a difference to the lives of Care Experienced people, along with the ability to advise, befriend, mentor, and support them.
