About the Role
Join Peabody as a Housing Support Worker and make a real difference in the lives of young people aged 18–25, including care leavers. This role is focused on providing practical and emotional support to help young people build life skills, access housing, and gain independence. It is not a care role but involves supporting young people to develop skills such as managing benefits, budgeting, and navigating housing options. You will create a safe, non-judgmental environment where young people feel empowered and respected. Bringing your own passions—whether in music, art, sports, or other interests—will help enrich the community and build meaningful connections. You will also collaborate closely with colleagues and external partners to ensure tailored support is provided at the right time. Please note Peabody is not a licensed UK sponsor and cannot offer visa sponsorship for this role.

Experience
Experience working with young people, particularly those who have faced trauma, mental health challenges, or substance misuse is desirable. Transferable experience from youth work, education, housing, or similar sectors is valued.

About you
You connect easily with young people and are creative and confident in engaging them through music, sports, art, or other interests. You can work independently and as part of a team, managing a caseload and supporting residents with budgeting, benefits, and housing options. Strong communication and IT skills are essential. Ideally, you have some knowledge of safeguarding, support plans, or key working. You demonstrate kindness, proactivity, and a commitment to empowering young people on their journey to independence.

Qualifications
There are no specific qualification requirements for this role, but relevant experience and a positive, supportive attitude are important.
