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 helping people stay independent and live life to the fullest?

In this role, you’ll support individuals aged 65 and over to remain in their own homes with confidence and dignity. You’ll provide practical help with benefit checks, forms, Blue Badge applications, and grants. You’ll also visit people in their homes, assess risks, and connect them with services such as Falls Prevention, Occupational Therapy, and the Fire Service.

Alongside this, you’ll share up-to-date advice on care options, social activities, and housing so individuals can make informed choices about their future. Accurate electronic record-keeping and effective case management will be part of your daily routine. You’ll work as part of a supportive team, attending meetings, training, and regular supervisions.

If you’re organized, empathetic, and ready to make a real difference in people’s lives, we’d love to hear from you.

What We Offer

• Enhanced annual leave entitlement – 27 days annual leave per year, plus bank holidays.
• Commitment to mental health and wellbeing – people are at the heart of what we do; you’ll also have access to our National Wellbeing Lead and Regional Wellbeing Champions.
• Paycare health cash plan – you can claim back costs for a wide range of everyday health expenses, including optical, dental, physiotherapy, and more, within an annual limit.
• Employee Assistance Program – access to 24/7 GP appointments, 1-1 counselling and health assessments.
• Team initiatives – this may include team away days, P3’s Big Day Out and our Annual Awards Ceremony.
• Discounts – access to Paycare Perks and Tickets for Good.
• Personal development opportunities – including mentoring, training, secondments, job shadowing, and more.
• Colleague Volunteering Programme – one day paid leave per year.
• Enhanced sickness pay – based on your length of service.
• Earning Potential – optional overtime and refer a friend bonus scheme.
• Additional equipment provision – some employees may be provided with additional equipment including workwear, tools and use of a company van or car.
