Here at Peabody, we have opportunities for **Housing Support Workers** on a Permanent basis at our scheme in Laindon, close to Basildon.

This scheme is part of Peabody's young persons service in Essex, a supported housing scheme for single homeless individuals aged 16-25 years, including care leavers and ex-offenders with high support needs.

As the **Housing Support Worker**, you will be required to work a variety of shifts, some of which will include _sleep ins _at the supported housing scheme. _You will know weeks in advance of the shifts that you will be required to work_

**What we’re looking for**:

- Do you have a background working with vulnerable young people within either a social housing, education, or charity setting?
- Do you have experience of working with young people who have challenging behaviour where you can engage, be approachable and provide constructive support?
- Do you have up to date knowledge of _safeguarding _and _trauma informed _principles?

- Can you communicate effectively in plain and easy to understand language?

If so, this role is perfect for you

**A bit about the role**:
As a** Housing Support Worker, **you will be working with a team of _highly motivated,_ _compassionate,_ and d_edicated colleagues_ supporting a caseload of _young customers._ 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._

**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 Young People Essex's team
- This role will require an Enhanced DBS check._

**Interviews will take place week commencing the 22 April.**
