Job Description
About the Company
Are you passionate about helping young people build brighter futures? We’re looking for a compassionate and proactive Housing Support Worker to support young people aged 16–25, including care leavers, as they move towards independent living. This is not a care role—it’s hands‑on, practical and emotional support to help young people gain confidence, stability, and essential life skills.
About the Role
This is a full‑time onsite role with a shift pattern that includes weekends, early mornings, evenings, and bank holidays. Flexibility is essential.
Responsibilities
* Support young people with developing independence skills, including budgeting, managing benefits, and navigating housing options.
* Build trusting, non‑judgmental relationships, providing stability and encouragement.
* Bring your own interests—music, art, sports, or other passions—to connect and engage.
* Work with colleagues and external partners to ensure each young person gets the right support.
* Manage a caseload and keep clear, accurate records.
Qualifications
* Experience from youth work, housing, education, or similar roles (transferable skills welcome).
Required Skills
* Someone who relates easily to young people, including those with experience of trauma, mental health challenges, or substance misuse.
* Confidence engaging young people creatively and actively.
* Strong communication and IT skills.
* Ability to work independently and as part of a supportive team.
* Knowledge of safeguarding or support planning is helpful but not essential.
Preferred Skills
* Experience from youth work, housing, education, or similar roles (transferable skills welcome).
Pay range and compensation package
Salary: £27,176 per year
What you’ll get:
* Up to 25 days’ annual leave.
* Flexible benefits including healthcare, dental and retail discounts.
* 4x life assurance and up to 10% pension contribution.
* Funded professional development and apprenticeships.
* Two paid volunteering days each year.
* Supportive, inclusive team culture.
