At Connection Support, we believe in a future where people are free from crisis. But when crises do happen, we'll be there every step of the way.

Does this sound like something you'd like to be part of?

We're currently recruiting two Support Workers to join our Short-Term Accommodation Service in Aylesbury.

  • Helping people engage with employment, training, or volunteering opportunities
  • Connecting clients with local resources such as food banks, mental health, or substance misuse services
  • Supporting the development of essential life skills such as budgeting, paying bills, shopping, and meal planning
  • Encouraging clients to build positive networks within the community and, where possible, reconnect with family and friends

  • Hours: 12-hour shifts on a 4 days on / 4 days off rota (averaging 38.5 hours per week)
  • Shift pattern: 8:00am – 8:00pm

About You

Your professional background may include experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Housing or homelessness support
  • Mental health or substance misuse services
  • Criminal justice or community support work

You'll also bring:

  • A good understanding of housing and benefits systems (training can be provided)
  • The ability to remain calm and adaptable when faced with challenges
  • Excellent communication skills and a person-centred, flexible approach
  • The ability to motivate and empower others
  • A genuine commitment to helping people and alignment with Connection Support's mission, vision, and values
