About the Role

As a Housing Peer Support Worker, you will work closely with our Recovery Workers to provide person-centered support to service users. Your role will involve working with a caseload of service users to support them in sustaining their accommodation and tenancies, as well as helping them to access services within their local communities that support their recovery.

Experience of working in a similar role or in a related field, such as mental health or housing, is desirable. However, we also recognize that many people have transferable skills and are eager to develop their careers in substance misuse.

What We Offer

We offer a comprehensive learning and development program, including training and education to help you develop your skills and progress in your career. You will also have access to our exclusive discounts hub, flexible working solutions, and a competitive pension scheme.
