Home, a place where you belong 

Want to be part of a team that truly cares, not only about our customers, but about you too? Our colleagues tell us that working here feels different.

We’re brilliant at what we do, and we look after each other just as much as we support our customers.

If you’ve ever felt like just a number in your current job, this could be the change you’ve been waiting for.

You’ll help people with complex needs live more independently, where no two days are the same.

One moment you’re helping someone take a big step towards their goals, the next you’re supporting them through life’s everyday ups and downs.

What’s in it for you?


* 34 days leave, pro-rated (including bank holidays and a “me day”)


* Paid time off for volunteering


* Matching Pension contributions (up to 7%, with life assurance of 3x Basic Salary)


* Save up to £1140 yearly with our health cash plan, covering dental, optical, and therapies


* Career path with development and an excellent training package


* Excellent benefits and rewards including supermarket discounts and travel expenses

What you’ll do


* Creating support plans with your customers and coordinating a small team of Support Workers working with the plans. 


* Working with our young customers who will be looked after children or children in need, ensuring that Ofsted Supported Housing needs are met in our service.


* Helping customers with daily living activities such as making meals, shopping, budgeting, maintaining their tenancy and moving onto independent accommodation if they are able.


* Carrying out risk assessments, support planning, goal setting and regular reviews.


* Cuppas, chats and catch ups with your customer but also plenty of time to collaborate with colleagues too.    

Why join us?

This is more than a job – it’s a place where you feel valued.

With our learning and development offer, and support from friendly colleagues, you’ll make a real difference every day! If you’re ready to leave behind the ordinary, do something that really matters.

Be part of one of the UK’s Great Places to Work!

You have


* Passion and experience in supporting others ideally in a supported housing setting
