About us

Target Housing is a charity and registered social landlord. Over the past 30 years we have shown that stable accommodation and support can help transform lives. We work in a psychologically and trauma informed way to empower people to achieve independence. Target delivers the highest standard of housing and support to enable vulnerable people to live independently, fulfil their potential and contribute to their communities and wider society.

In a typical week…

You will have an allocated caseload of tenants who you will support for the agreed contractual hours within their accommodation with the aim of supporting them to eventually move onto independent living. This is achieved by completing a support plan and risk assessment with the service user which consists of achievable goals within a realistic timeframe.

The service users we support have multiple complex needs and reside in shared and single occupancy accommodation. We take a multi-agency approach to ensure the most comprehensive amount of support is provided for the tenants needs. Our priority is to build a positive working relationship with the individual, this is the foundation of working within a psychologically informed environment (PIE) and Trauma Informed way.

Target is a collaborative organisation and have several office locations where you can access additional guidance from colleagues and management.

Working hours are generally 9am to 5pm with a 20-minute unpaid lunch break.
