At Sanctuary Supported Living, we specialise in delivering a wide range of personalised housing, care, and support services to help people across England to live as independently as possible.

We're a national organisation, but we're not-for-profit and we think locally by putting our customers at the heart of what we do. We're committed to being our best and helping customers to be their best, as we support them on their pathways for independence.

No matter your job – delivering support directly or working in our offices to support our frontline teams – your work makes a difference every day.

And working with us isn't just another job. It's rewarding, inspiring, exciting and it provides an opportunity to make a real, positive impact on people's lives. Plus, we'll support you in reaching your aspirations and career goals, through comprehensive training and benefits.

The role of Specialist Project Worker will include:

  • Providing support to encourage our customers who have faced homelessness to maximise their own potential and independence.
  • Ensuring the smooth running of the service, promoting the service effectively to others
  • Working closely with staff and customers to deliver a high quality, intensive support service
  • Managing a team of Project Workers
  • Recruiting, developing, and training staff within appropriate legislative or NVQ frameworks and devising effective and well-run staff rotas
  • Overseeing and monitoring the quality of risk tools, assessments, and personalised support plans
  • Liaising with staff to ensure positive outcomes, with a focus on maintaining tenancies and move on objectives
  • Promoting safe working practices by undertaking risk assessments to support, reduce or eliminate risks
  • Completing and monitoring health and safety checks within the service

Skills and experiences:

  • NVQ3 in Health & Social Care, or willing to work towards
  • Proven experience of working with a similar customer group is essential
  • Previous housing related support is desirable
  • Sound knowledge of housing management including rents, tenancies and health and safety
  • Good understanding of occupancy agreements
  • The ability to work on your own initiative and to react effectively under pressure

Are you ready to be your best?

Brilliant work deserves brilliant benefits As part of our commitment to making Sanctuary Supported Living a great place to work, here are just some of the ways we'll reward you:

  • At least 25 days paid holiday, rising to 30 days after 5 years' service (plus public holidays)
  • A pension scheme with employer contributions
  • A variety of online discounts and rewards from major retailers
  • Health and well-being plans
  • Life assurance
  • Family friendly arrangements, including opportunities for flexible working
  • Tax efficient savings through our Cycle to Work scheme
  • A wide range of learning and development opportunities
