Z House

Z House provides overnight accommodation for young people (18-25) at risk of or experiencing homelessness with low support needs. The project aims to provide stable overnight accommodation for young people as they work towards a move-on goal. The project will work with the young people staying at Z House to help them build the skills, knowledge and resources necessary to move onto stable and secure accommodation. The volunteer roles that support this service are dynamic and will change depending on the young people we are supporting. We are particularly looking for people who have worked with young people before or those who are looking to move into or are in social work. We would also welcome applications from people who speak foreign languages. We have two roles...

 

1. Night Support Volunteer

Based in the city centre, this shift involves sleeping overnight, staying up till 11:30pm to support the Night Worker, and supporting young people to get up and out of the bedroom area between 7:00am and 8:00am. The volunteer will also complete any house duties and safety checks that are needed for that specific day.

 

2. Breakfast Volunteer

This shift starts at 7:30am at the Inner-city Night Shelter. The role involves making breakfast and lunches for young people, if they would like this, and completing any house duties and safety checks that are needed for that specific day. This shift finishes at 9:00am so a good one for before you head out into your day!

 

 You can apply for any of the roles HERE.
