Housing Support Worker
2 Days Old
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.
