Who We Support

- Experience working with young people aged 16-25 or personal insight into their challenges.
- Ability to handle difficult situations calmly and de-escalate conflicts.
- Knowledge of safeguarding and trauma-informed care is a plus.
Additional Information
- Enhanced DBS check required.
- Role title: Housing Support Worker / Project Worker.
- Current and future opportunities for both full-time and part-time positions (please note that shifts may include sleep-ins, typically no more than once or twice per week, where you’ll stay overnight at the project to provide support as needed).
- We have opportunities available in multiple locations across Hertfordshire, including: EN8, HP4, SG13, WD6, SG5, SG7, AL3, SG1, SG2, and WD19.
Why Join Us?
- 25 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays.
