Housing Support Worker

Our Vacancy

Please note: Peabody is not a licensed UK sponsor, so we’re unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

At Peabody, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build a safe, stable, and independent future and you could be part of making that happen.

We’re looking for a friendly, motivated Housing Support Worker to support adults experiencing homelessness as they take important steps towards independence and long-term housing.

This isn’t a personal care role. Instead, it’s all about guidance, encouragement, and practical support, helping people rebuild confidence, develop life skills, and move forward in their lives.

As part of our team, you’ll:

• Support individuals in building essential life skills such as budgeting, managing benefits, and sustaining a tenancy
• Create a safe, positive, and non-judgemental environment where people feel respected and valued
• Encourage independence and support individuals to set and achieve their own goals
• Bring your own interests and personality (whether that’s sport, wellbeing, practical skills, or creative activities) to engage and motivate
• Work collaboratively with colleagues and external agencies to ensure each person receives the right support

You don’t have to tick every box, but we’re especially interested in someone who:

• Builds strong, trusting relationships with adults, including those who may have experienced trauma, homelessness, or complex challenges
• Brings empathy, resilience, and a person-centred approach
• Is confident managing their own workload while also being a strong team player
• Has good communication and basic IT skills
• Has some experience (or transferable skills) from areas such as housing, support work, outreach, health, or social care
• Ideally has some awareness of safeguarding, support planning, or key working

When you join Peabody, you become part of a supportive team that lives by its values:

Be Kind
 Do the Right Thing
 Love New Ideas
 Celebrate Diversity
 Keep Our Promises
 Pull Together

We’re committed to creating a workplace where you feel valued, included, and empowered, just as we aim to do for the people we support.

What You’ll Get

• 25 days’ annual leave
• Flexible benefits including healthcare, dental, and discounts
• 4x Life Assurance and up to 10% pension contribution
• Professional development, including funded apprenticeships
• Two paid volunteering days each year
• Family-friendly policies and a supportive team culture

Please read before applying:

This is a full-time, onsite role, and you’ll need to be available to work five days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Shifts may include early mornings and evenings, so flexibility is key.
