About the role
We are looking for someone to join the Wolverhampton team for 16 hours a week as an Empowerment Worker.

You will be responsible for 2 houses, 7 tenants and working in partnership with 2 churches.
As an Empowerment Worker you will be supporting our tenants who have been homeless. Tenants will be singles males with support needs, and you would empower them towards an independent life.

We love diversity and we value your unique skills, strengths, knowledge and experience. Becoming one of our team may realise your potential, helping us to raise our performance in empowering those we serve.

About us.
We provide not just shelter and housing but also the friendship of a church. Together with over 50 churches, we provide direct support to people whom others have often given up on. Our first home had a real heart for men coming out of prison Homes are now available for a wide range of people experiencing homelessness: people in recovery from addiction, people sleeping rough, women and children fleeing domestic violence, people coming out of rehab, former prostitutes, refugees, those suffering mental health issues and survivors of human trafficking.
We are now partnering with churches across the country. We encourage others to use our model by franchising the idea. Our vision is for every church to lovingly provide the homeless with a home. The tragedy of homelessness is in every community. We believe that with our help, every church can do something about it.
