Support Worker

5 days ago

Hitchin, United Kingdom Peabody Full time
Weekly hours: 37.5 hours – 5 days a week including some weekends and bank holidays
Could you be a Caseworker/Project Worker for vulnerable young people? Could you give them the support and guidance they need to get back on their feet and live independently?
The young people we work with have become homeless for a number of reasons – isolation or mental health, abusive relationships, substance misuse, involvement in gangs/county lines - their issues are complex so you will need to be able to build strong, trusting relationships so that our customers feel safe and supported.
We have two roles at our well-established Young Persons Project in Hitchin which provides temporary housing for young people aged 18-25 who are experiencing homelessness.
A bit about the role:
As a Caseworker/Project Worker you will be working with a team of highly motivated, compassionate, and dedicated colleagues supporting a caseload of young customers with complex needs. You’ll need to meet each customer weekly to help them with their goals and discuss their progress. And, when someone’s ready to move on, we'll rely on you to help them access the housing register or look for suitable rented accommodation.
Hours:
You will be working the following shift pattern;;
3 days - 9AM to 5.30PM
1 day - 10AM to 6.30PM
1 day - 9AM to 2.30PM.
You would be based at Jubilee House but expected to support our Satellite scheme in Sun Street also.
What we’re looking for:
You’re a great relationship builder, who can create trust so that our young people feel comfortable sharing their issues with you, you listen but in a non-judgemental way and you are able to spot signs for concern and act on them. You’ll also need to be able to work on your own, sometimes dealing with challenging situations and diffusing them to avoid escalation. Is this you?
* Have you got experience of working with teenagers between the ages of 18-25 years or do you have personal experience of the issues they face?
* Have you got experience of managing challenging behaviour?
* Do you have knowledge or experience of safeguarding and trauma informed principles?
We are not a UK licenced sponsor and any sponsorship with another employer is not valid for this role.
This role will require an Enhanced child and adult workforce DBS check.
Please note if appointed your job title will be Housing Support Worker.
Here are just a few of the benefits for working at Peabody:
* 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

Closing date: 26th September 2024
