Job description

Our Charity

Established in 1972, P3 Charity is a modern, forward-thinking organisation providing support services to people facing social exclusion across the UK.

We offer a wide range of services, including homelessness prevention, supported housing, mental health support, community advice, hoarding support and services for young people.

We’re a person-centred organisation who works alongside people to improve lives. We do this by strengthening communities, unlocking potential and creating new possibilities. We tackle challenges others won’t and we go the extra mile. We believe in collaboration – both within our teams and with the local community – to achieve the best outcomes.

Our values-driven approach means we recruit for values and train for skills.

The Role

Are you passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives? We’re looking for dedicated, positive individuals to join our Mental Health Accommodation Pathway in Cambridgeshire. Our service includes a large shared house with 10 rooms and 3 self-contained annexes, where our team provides 24/7 practical and emotional support to help residents build the confidence and skills they need to live independently.

We’re seeking self-motivated, solution-focused, and dynamic team members who are genuinely committed to supporting people with mental health needs. Whether it’s one-to-one guidance or group sessions, you’ll help individuals manage their finances, connect with social activities, access education and employment, and improve their overall wellbeing.

As part of a wider accommodation pathway supporting over 100 people across the region, we work closely with mental health professionals to ensure every person receives the tailored support they need. With a variety of settings and support levels across the pathway, there are plenty of opportunities to grow, learn, and make a lasting impact.
