About the Role
Be the difference – join our new Lambeth service supporting young people aged 19–25. Imagine being the person who helps a young adult take their first step towards independence, someone who listens without judgement, spots when they’re struggling, and guides them to the right help at the right time. At Peabody, our Housing Support Workers do exactly that every day. We don’t just provide a roof; we help young people who’ve faced homelessness, trauma, or difficult life experiences find their feet, rebuild confidence, and believe in themselves again.

In spring 2024, we’re opening a brand-new supported housing service in Lambeth and are looking for enthusiastic, motivated, and creative individuals who can engage residents, plan meaningful activities, and inspire them to learn the skills they need to thrive.

No two days are the same! You might be helping someone learn how to budget so they can move into their own flat, supporting a young resident to access counselling, mental health support, or drug and alcohol services, organising cooking sessions, job search workshops or community events, writing support plans and risk assessments to ensure residents feel safe, and working closely with partner agencies to connect residents with the right services at the right time.

Experience
Confident working with young people in housing, youth work, care, or similar settings. Knowledgeable about homelessness and housing legislation, with experience in support planning and risk assessments.

About you
A good listener, patient, and genuinely passionate about seeing young people succeed. Comfortable using Microsoft Office and maintaining accurate records. Flexible to work shifts across 7 days including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays.

Qualifications
This role requires an Enhanced DBS check. Right to work in the UK is essential. No specific formal qualifications are stated but relevant experience and skills are required.
