Housing Support Worker Kenwyn

Our Vacancy

Join Us as a Housing Support Worker – Make a Real Difference in Young Lives

At Peabody, we’re passionate about creating opportunities for young people to thrive. We’re looking for a Housing Support Worker who is kind, proactive, and ready to support young people aged 16–18, including care leavers, on their journey to independence.

This is not a care role. It’s a practical and emotional support position, helping young people build life skills, access housing, and feel empowered to shape their future.

What you'll be doing

As a Housing Support Worker, you’ll provide high-quality, person-centred support to individuals who may be socially excluded, disabled, unwell, or homeless. Your role will focus on promoting independence, wellbeing, and inclusion, enabling customers to achieve their goals and thrive. From supporting day-to-day household skills to helping customers manage finances and integrate into the community, you’ll make a meaningful impact from day one.

We need someone who:

• Has experience supporting vulnerable people in the community or within a supported living environment, either professionally or through volunteering.
• Communicates effectively with customers, colleagues, and external agencies, and can build strong professional relationships.
• Is empathetic, resilient, and passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives.
• Understands safeguarding practices and has knowledge of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion within this client group.
• Is confident working both independently (including lone working) and as part of a team, with good IT skills and the ability to maintain accurate records.

Why join us?

When you join Peabody, you’re joining a team guided by our values, Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together.

We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels supported, included, and empowered.

What You’ll Get

• Up to 25 days’ annual leave.
• Flexible benefits including healthcare, dental, and discounts.
• 4x Life Assurance and up to 10% pension contribution.
• Professional development, including funded apprenticeships.
• Two paid volunteering days each year.
• Family-friendly policies and a supportive team culture.

Please read before applying:

This is a full-time, onsite role, and you’ll need to be available to work five days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Shifts may include early mornings and evenings, so flexibility is key.

Interviews will take place between 15-19th December 2025 or between 5th-9th January 2026.

Please note: Peabody is not a licensed UK sponsor, so we’re unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
