Support Worker - Homelessness

£25,500 + Great Benefits


An exciting new career opportunity has arisen for an accomplished, organised and highly professional Support Worker - Empowering People Experiencing Homelessness

Are you someone who others naturally turn to for advice or support? Have you ever signposted a friend, family member, or colleague to the help they needed? Turn that instinct into a rewarding career as a Support Worker in our 24/7 direct access accommodation service.

We are looking for compassionate, proactive individuals to join our frontline team supporting adults experiencing homelessness.

You'll play a vital role in creating a welcoming, safe environment where residents can begin their journey toward stable housing and improved wellbeing.

Key Responsibilities:



  • Act as a keyworker for a caseload of clients, offering at least 4 hours of tailored support each week.

  • Provide effective signposting to services such as mental health, substance misuse, and financial guidance.

  • Complete needs and risk assessments, develop personalised support plans, and conduct bi-weekly reviews.

  • Facilitate and lead workshops, engage clients in meaningful activities, and promote community living.

  • Perform welfare checks, maintain clean and functional accommodation, and mediate client disputes.

  • Support rough sleeper outreach and respond to street link alerts.

  • Working hours 8:00 - 4:00 and 10:00 - 6:00, alternate weeks.

  • Take part in an on-call rota to cover a Saturday and Sunday approximately once every four weeks.



What We're Looking For:



  • A genuine passion for helping others—professional experience is welcome but not essential.

  • Ability to communicate effectively and maintain detailed records.

  • Confidence using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).

  • Emotional resilience, empathy, and a calm approach in crisis situations.

  • Willingness to learn through our comprehensive training programme.

  • Driving licence and vehicle.



Whether you've supported someone through addiction recovery, helped navigate housing options, or simply have a knack for guiding people to the right support.

This role is your chance to make a difference.

What's on Offer:



  • Full training—no prior experience necessary.

  • A supportive team environment committed to inclusion and empowerment.

  • The opportunity to positively impact vulnerable lives every day.



Ready to use your natural support skills in a professional setting? Apply now to become a Support Worker and help shape a better future for those in need.
