With over 57,000 homes and serving more than 120,000 residents, our dedicated team plays a crucial role in turning this vision into reality — we care, we dare, and we collaborate to create People Powered Living.
The Role:
We’re looking for inspirational, compassionate, and resilient female Support Workers to join our 24/7 supported accommodation service for vulnerable young women aged 18-25. This role is about more than providing support — it’s about nurturing potential, empowering independence, and helping each young woman build the confidence to create a brighter future.
You’ll work closely with young women facing complex challenges, including mental health struggles and crisis situations. Collaboration is key — you’ll work in partnership with Social Services and other multi-agency professionals to deliver holistic, trauma-informed support tailored to each customer’s needs.
You’ll work flexibly across a Monday to Sunday rota, covering a mix of day and waking night shifts, ensuring 24/7 support is always available.
What You’ll Do:
– Build meaningful, trust-based relationships with young women to support their journey towards independence and social inclusion.
– Provide crisis intervention and emotional support, helping customers navigate challenging situations with compassion and calm.
– Develop and implement personalized support plans and risk assessments rooted in Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) and Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) principles.
– Collaborate with Social Services and external agencies to provide holistic, wraparound support.
– Inspire a positive, nurturing culture that empowers young women to build resilience and take control of their lives.
About You:
We’re looking for passionate individuals who:
– Understand what exceptional person-centred support looks like and strive to deliver it every day.
– Have experience supporting young people at risk, former LAC (Looked After Children), or those Leaving Care.
– Are skilled at handling mental health crises and challenging behaviours with empathy and professionalism.
– Possess excellent communication, IT, writing, and reporting skills.
– Can confidently conduct meaningful key-working sessions, offering guidance and emotional support.
– Know how to de-escalate situations and use problem-solving skills to create safe spaces.
– Are experts in developing, reviewing, and embedding support plans and risk assessments.
– Excel at building positive relationships with external agencies and customer support networks.
– Embrace our core values and work passionately to embed them in everything you do.
Why Join Us?
– Work with a passionate team dedicated to empowering young women.
– Make a real difference by helping customers build resilience and thrive.
– Be part of a workplace where your skills and compassion are valued and nurtured.
