About the Organisation
YMCA DownsLink Group is the leading charity for children and young people across Sussex and Surrey. We offer safe homes, mental health support and trusted advice.
We believe that every child and young person has the right to be safe, heard and to shape their own future. We work alongside them to make that happen.
We are here for children and young people, many of whom face multiple challenges and need our support.
Our Values - we do what’s right, we work with heart, and we build real connections – guide us in all our actions.
Guildford Foyer provides 24/7 supported accommodation for up to 34 young people aged 16–25, many with complex needs, including unaccompanied asylum‑seeking young people. We use a trauma‑informed, psychologically informed approach to help residents build life skills, set goals, and move towards independent living. Our Support Workers, Night Workers and Bank Workers offer guidance around housing, budgeting, living skills, education, employment and community engagement. We adopt a trauma informed and psychologically informed approach to supporting our residents to help them build essential life skills, identify their goals and work towards aspirations so that they can move on to enjoy fully independent futures.
About the Role
We are looking for a Housing Night Worker to join our team at Guildford Foyer. You will respond promptly to any reported incidents, accidents, or concerns, carrying out thorough checks and taking appropriate action to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone on site. You will also take a proactive approach to preventing anti‑social behaviour, working closely with support staff to maintain a positive environment. In addition, you will carry out one‑to‑one interventions with young people who may be experiencing a mental health crisis or who require medical assistance, ensuring they receive timely and appropriate support.
Main areas of responsibilities are:
Safety and security
Provide a friendly, professional presence and ensure the building remains safe, secure and welcoming at night.
Support resident wellbeing by upholding health and safety procedures, house rules and tenancy requirements.
Monitor risks and respond to incidents calmly and appropriately, recording and reporting to the relevant teams.
Resident engagement
Welcome residents and offer informal, responsive assistance to help them develop confidence, independence and life skills.
Encourage residents to share their views and engage with available services and opportunities.
Assist with evening groupwork sessions that promote learning, wellbeing and positive development.

Complete essential admin tasks including data entry, case notes and record management.
Carry out routine health and safety, compliance and room checks.
Log maintenance issues to ensure the building remains safe and well maintained.
