Your new company

This is a well-established charity working across the South West to support people facing homelessness, domestic abuse, and social exclusion. Through a range of innovative projects, they help individuals rebuild their lives, access safe housing, and move toward independence. Their approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and rooted in compassion and empowerment.

Your new role

You’ll be supporting individuals with medium-level needs who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Working across two locations, you’ll provide tailored support to help clients maintain tenancies, access services, and build brighter futures.

  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date client records.
  • Track referrals into the service.
  • Create a safe, supportive and empowering environment that promotes personal growth and sustainable move-on.
  • Rostered shifts between 08:00 AM and 20:00 PM.
  • Primarily Monday to Friday, with rotational weekend availability.
  • Participation in an on-call, out-of-hours rota.
What you'll need to succeed
  • Experience supporting individuals with complex needs and/or challenging behaviours.
  • Strong understanding of the root causes of homelessness and social exclusion.
  • A valid driving licence and access to your own vehicle (business insurance required).
  • A compassionate, resilient, and proactive approach to support work.

What you'll get in return

  • 27 days annual leave plus your birthday off, increasing to 30 days with length of service.
  • Health Cash Plan and Employee Assistance Programme via a dedicated rewards platform.
  • 30% discount at charity shops.
  • Blue Light Card eligibility, giving access to discounts across thousands of retailers.
  • Generous pension scheme.
  • Regular supervision and support from your line manager.
  • Free monthly training sessions and opportunities for career development.
  • Reflective Practice sessions with external facilitators.
  • A workplace culture that values inclusion, flexibility, and lived experience.
