Support and Development Lead
SUPPORT
Jess Rutter - Senior Support
‘I love working for Coatham House because I'm passionate about the rights of young people and helping to ensure that they all have equal chances for success. As well as this, I feel like we are a big family at Coatham House and because I love my job, I never feel like I'm coming to work.’ |
New View Hostel
Laura Easton - Concierge
‘CH is like family, I love being part of a really supportive team, passionate about young people, their futures and feelings. I feel like I can give back a bit of the support I had to other young people, helping others is so rewarding. Working for a charity that is on the front line with homelessness (I mean that it's a real thing and many people don't realise it happens in their town, not just major cities) and I like educating and highlighting to people what we do and raising awareness.’ |
Daniel Luczakiewicz - Concierge
'Having grown up in Redcar it's nice to work with young locals and see people get back on their feet while having the freedom and flexibility to suggest different ways to work and interact. I work with small supportive team and often find my time within the project rewarding.' |
