If these principles speak to you, we’d love for you to join our talent pool for future Youth Support Worker opportunities.
Who We Support
We work with young people aged 16-25 who are navigating complex challenges such as mental health struggles, abusive relationships, substance misuse, gang involvement, or isolation.

What We’re Looking For
- We’re seeking individuals who can connect with young people, offering non-judgmental support and fostering their confidence.
- 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.
- Flexible benefits including healthcare, dental, and more.
- Professional development opportunities.
- 4x life assurance and up to 10% pension contribution.
- Two paid volunteering days annually.

If your experience matches our criteria, we’ll reach out to discuss current opportunities. If there are no roles available in your preferred location, don’t worry - we’ll keep your details on file and contact you when a suitable position becomes available.
