About the Role
Join Peabody’s Talent Pool as a Housing Support Worker and make a real impact in the lives of vulnerable adults. This role focuses on empowering adults who are homeless or have experienced rough sleeping to rebuild their lives by providing practical and emotional support. It is not a care role but involves helping individuals access housing, manage benefits, and develop essential life skills. You will work directly with adults facing complex challenges such as trauma, mental health issues, or substance misuse. Key responsibilities include supporting individuals to access and sustain housing, assisting with budgeting, benefits, and tenancy management, creating a safe and respectful environment, encouraging engagement in meaningful activities and community connections, and collaborating with colleagues and external agencies to provide holistic support.

Why Join Us?
At Peabody, you will be part of a team that lives by our values: Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together. We are dedicated to creating a supportive, inclusive, and empowering workplace culture.

What You’ll Get
Up to 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, flexible benefits including healthcare, dental and discounts, 4x Life Assurance, up to 10% pension contribution, professional development opportunities including funded apprenticeships, two paid volunteering days each year, and family-friendly policies.

Experience
Transferable experience from housing, support work, social care, or related fields is desirable. Experience building trust and rapport with vulnerable adults, especially those with lived experience of homelessness, is important.

About you
You are confident and creative in engaging people through shared interests or community activities. You can manage a caseload and work both independently and as part of a team. Strong communication and IT skills are essential, along with knowledge of safeguarding and support planning.

Qualifications
No specific qualifications are required for this role, but relevant experience and a commitment to supporting vulnerable adults are key.
