Independent Living Skills Coach

About The Role

Imagine this…

A young person has just moved into Bruce House. They’re unsure, maybe guarded – but you start with something simple: cooking a meal together.

Over time, you help them build the skills that make independence possible: budgeting, managing a tenancy, keeping a home, accessing services, and building routines. You support them to engage with education, training or employment – and to believe in themselves again.

You’re not just teaching practical skills. You’re helping someone take real steps towards a future where they can thrive independently – with the reassurance that they’ve got someone alongside them who won’t give up.

The opportunity

Bruce House delivers a high-quality accommodation-based support service for young people aged 18–25. Many residents are already developing independence and may be in education, training or employment, using support flexibly as they build stability and confidence.

A key part of the service is helping young people become genuinely ready for move-on. This includes clear expectations, practical preparation, and individualised planning to ensure young people understand the responsibilities of holding and sustaining a tenancy.

As an Independent Living Skills Coach, you’ll play a vital role in helping young people develop the life skills, confidence and resilience they need – so that when the time comes to move on, they are ready.

In return for your commitment, we offer a supportive workplace and a strong benefits package including:
