The Stravaig project are looking for a compassionate project worker who can think on their feet and are able to help to make a real difference to the people we support. Stravaig is an emergency homeless accommodation providing a nurturing environment for 9 individuals aged 16-25. When people come to stay with us, they require intense support and stabilisation. Alongside housing support, we also engage in therapeutic activities as well as many outings. We are looking for someone who has a passion for supporting others, great communication and listening skills. IT skills are essential as we are working towards a paperless working environment.

Help transform lives like D’s.

Hello, my name is D. I am 19 years old. I was accommodated in Stravaig in an emergency when I became homeless due to my addiction struggles. I’ve had a difficult childhood, and I have not yet developed all the necessary skills to live on my own. I need support to develop skills such as keeping my space tidy and budgeting so I can move in my own flat.

I enjoy playing pool, cooking lessons and watching boxsets.

At times I struggle to make the right choices, so I would love to have people there to support me and motivate me. Staff supporting me would need to be non-judgemental and understanding. This would help me reach my goals.

If you feel a genuine want to support and empower people like D, Stravaig may be the perfect place for you. We need someone who is hardworking, committed to promoting positive outcomes, effective communication skills and a positive role model.
