Do you enjoy empowering young people to overcome homelessness and build independent lives?

As a Housing Support Worker, you'll work directly with young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Who we're looking for:
• Someone with experience supporting vulnerable young people
• A great communicator who can build positive relationships while maintaining professional boundaries.
• A strong team player who can manage a caseload, complete accurate records, and work independently.
• Hold a valid UK driving licence (or one permitting driving in the UK) and access to a vehicle for work purposes.

Why Join Us?

We understand that when people feel supported and valued, they can achieve great things - and we want you to be part of that.

Here's what you'll enjoy as part of our team:

• Flexible working options to help you balance work and life in a way that suits you.
• Hybrid working - enjoy the best of both worlds!
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 30 days with service - because your time off matters.
• A wealth of learning and career development opportunities, with paid and tailored training to support your growth.
• Free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme 24/7, including access to counselling and GP services - your wellbeing is a priority.
• Employer contributory pension scheme to help secure your future.
• Great maternity, paternity and adoption benefits to support you and your family.
• Exclusive care workers discounts to make life a little easier.
• Access to a range of Employee Networks including People of Colour, LGBT+, Mental Health and Accessibility - we embrace and celebrate diversity.
• A variety of health and wellbeing initiatives to keep you feeling your best.
• Cycle to Work Scheme to help you stay active and reduce your carbon footprint.
• Access to a Corporate Health Plan to support your physical and mental health.

We embrace diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive, anti-racist environment where everyone can thrive by being their true self. Join us in driving this important agenda forward and help shape a workplace where all voices are valued!
