ABOUT YOU

We are inviting applications for Bank Staff Workers to join us, to work in a fast-paced environment, and be part of either our Supported Housing Team at Vittoria Walk, Cheltenham or our Pathway HOME team in Gloucester.

We provide a contributory pension (subject to eligibility), non-contractual benefits such as life assurance, and free use of the organisation’s sports and gym facilities. You will be entitled to 28 days holiday, pro-rated depending on the hours you work.  We provide a comprehensive training programme for all staff across the organisation and are committed to helping all staff progress and develop their career.

We are committed to creating a dynamic and diverse workforce and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of their age, gender, disability, race or ethnicity, sexual orientation or faith.  We have procedures in place to ensure that all applicants are treated fairly and consistently at every stage of the recruitment process.

ABOUT US

YMCA Cheltenham, founded in 1855, is a registered charity and has become a leading provider of supported housing in Cheltenham and Gloucester, alongside other works including the provision of sports facilities, affordable housing and other charitable activities.

Since 2014 we have grown from having just one supported housing project of 50 beds to being able to offer more than 250 beds every night, including long-term affordable accommodation, low to high-level supported accommodation, and emergency homeless provision.

YMCA Cheltenham is an organisation founded on Christian values and, as such, employees may encounter aspects of the workplace particular to, or representative of, the Christian faith.  Employees are not required to adhere to the Christian faith or any faith, and no such consideration is taken into account by the organisation when making employment choices or in delivering its services.

YMCA Cheltenham is wholly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
