Monday to Sunday 21:30 - 08:30 (two weekly rolling rota)


Here at Peabody, we have opportunities for two
Female Specialist Support Workers (NIGHTS), on a permanent basis at our young people's scheme in Stoke Newington.


At this scheme we focus our support on young women who are experiencing multiple disadvantages or have had traumatic experiences.

Many of them have experienced homelessness, substance misuse, involvement with the criminal justice system and mental ill health.

  • This female only scheme is supervised across 7 days, 24 hours per day. Please note for this reason, we are looking for _
    _female applicants only__ as it is an allwomen's service. The Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1, Paragraph 1 applies to this post._

What we're looking for:

  • Do you have a background working with vulnerable young females _(1825 years)_ within either a social housing, education, or charity sector where the focus has been their development and personal growth?
  • Do you have lived or professional experience of managing complex needs, which include homelessness, mental health or any other high risk or high harm behaviours or high vulnerability?
  • Do you have experience of working with young people who have challenging behaviour or conflict where you can
    engage,
    be approachable and provide required
    constructive support?
  • Do you have knowledge of safeguarding and trauma informed principles?
  • Do you have great IT (Word/Excel) and communication skills with a knack of creating good professional working relationships with your customers?
  • Can you work nights across a two weekly rolling rota
  • Week
  • Week
- 4 nights on

  • 4 nights off
  • 3 nights off
  • 3 nights on
If so, Peabody has the perfect opportunity for you

A bit about the role:


As a
Specialist Support Worker (NIGHTS ONLY), you will be working with a team of_ highly _motivated _compassionate_, and _dedicated colleagues_ supporting a caseload of young customers.

You will need to meet with each customer weekly to help them with their_ goals _and discuss their _progress_.

And, when someone's ready to move on, we will rely on you to _help _them access the _housing register or look for suitable rented accommodation.

_

_ Put simply, if you've ever wanted a job where you can really make a positive difference to someone's life, this is it._


Relevant experience would be an advantage, as would an understanding of safeguarding and knowledge of the benefit system.
But just as important may well be skills and knowledge which you have in other areas which you can share like sport, music, games, gardening, or a love of film.

All these things would make you a great addition to the Peabody Complex Needs London team.

Some of the key results for the role include:

  • Work closely with the team and a range of external agencies in engaging young people in their support programme and achieving their goals.
  • Plan and deliver fun and meaningful activities for young people living at the project, whilst adhering to safeguarding and health and safety procedures.
  • Bring a discreet and sensitive approach with strong professional boundaries and be able to confidently deal with tense and difficult situations.
  • Commit to nightwork.
  • Understand safeguarding and knowledge of the benefit system (not essential).
  • This role will require an Enhanced DBS check._

A bit about us:

It started over 160 years ago with one man's desire to improve the lives of poverty-stricken Londoners.

Today, we have 107,000 homes and 220,000 residents across London and the Home Counties and around 20,000 care and support customers.

But the desire remains the same - to create homes and communities where people can flourish.

Here just a few of the benefits for working at Peabody:

  • Up to 25 days' annual holiday plus bank holidays
  • Flexible benefits scheme, including options for Healthcare, Dental care, Critical illness cover, vouchers, technology scheme and access to a discount portal.
  • 4 x Life Assurance

  • Professional development by access to "paid for" apprenticeship programs and qualifications
  • Two additional paid volunteering days each year
  • Family friendly policies
  • Up to 10% pension contribution matched 1:1

So, if you
want to make a positive difference to the lives of young people, here's your chance.

INTERVIEWS WILL BE AROUND WEEK COMMENCING THE 11 MARCH
