Our mission is to create supportive, inclusive and energising communities, where people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.

Our activities include:

Accommodation for over 700 people every year who are at risk of being homeless, who are on low incomes, experience barriers to work, or young people in need of high levels of support, who have often experienced trauma and difficult times in their lives. We don’t just provide a bed, we support people holistically and continually seek to help our residents gain the training, skills and confidence to lead independent lives.

A Health & Wellbeing centre in Bath, a community facility with a fully kitted out gym, functional fitness areas and extensive class programme.

Two commercial hostels in Bath and Bristol which help us cover our central costs.

Twelve youth clubs for young people aged 10-19, including 4 young carers groups, providing a space where they can have dedicated time to talk to trusted youth workers, access relevant information about issues that concern them, and develop their social networks.

Eight Ofsted registered Nurseries, providing spaces for up to 360 children where they are given opportunities and experiences that will set them up for their educational journeys and prepare them for their lives ahead.

What does the job entail?

Working as part of a team to ensure a high standard of cleanliness is maintained throughout the whole hostel – surpassing customer expectations.

What skills will the successful candidate need?

You must have good organisational skills, a positive approach to working with colleagues and a professional and diplomatic approach when dealing with customers.

You must have excellent timekeeping, be able to deal with a high-pressure environment and have a willingness to undertake appropriate training and education where necessary.

Experience of working in a housekeeping or cleaning role is desirable.
