About Us

Caritas Diocese of Salford is the principal social action agency of the Catholic Diocese. Our mission is to put Love Into Action. We help those across Greater Manchester and Lancashire experiencing poverty, disadvantage and discrimination to transform their lives with dignity. We provide a practical response to those in crisis, suffering hardship or who are at risk. We rebuild lives for the long-term, enabling people to live in a safe, healthy and secure environment. We call for a better, more just world, where the voices of the poor are heard and acted upon and positively influence the systems, decisions and resources that affect those in need.

About the job

Following a recent service redesign, the Morning Star hostel provides high quality supported accommodation to 20 homeless men in Hulme.  The hostel is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with at least two members of staff on shift outside office hours.  We are therefore looking to recruit Bank Support Workers to work nights, evenings and weekends to ensure a smooth-running service for our Hostel. 

You will provide a friendly and professional welcome to residents coming in and out of the building, as well as spending time with residents when they are in communal areas.  You will ensure high standards of cleanliness and comfort in the building to create a welcoming atmosphere, as well as taking pride in the appearance of the building and facilities.  

You will assist in the smooth running of the hostel such as maintaining a safe environment, monitoring CCTV, answering telephone calls and undertaking health and safety checks.  You will also log information for the day staff and provide a detailed handover.  Additionally, you will maintain the security of the building and report any incidents or accidents to on call staff/emergency services.  Residents will be supported by signposting them to support services, respond to any need for first aid as well as abiding by service procedures and guidance. 

Experience of working with vulnerable people who are homeless is essential, this also includes safeguarding and health and safety, but training will also be provided. 

If this sounds like the next step you are looking for and you would like to work in a service passionate about  supporting people to find new homes and rebuild their lives, then we would love to hear from you!
