Join our Talent Pool as a Housing Support Worker (Young People) - North London Based

Join Our Talent Pool 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 building a Talent Pool of kind, proactive individuals who are ready to support young people 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.

Where You’ll Be Working

We have schemes based in Islington and Hackney.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll support young people to develop the skills they need for independent living, including navigating housing options, managing benefits, and budgeting. You’ll help create a safe, non-judgmental environment where they feel empowered and respected. By bringing your own passions, whether in music, art, sports, or other interests, you’ll enrich the community and build meaningful connections. You’ll also work closely with colleagues and external partners to ensure each young person receives the right support at the right time.

What We’re Looking For

We need someone who:

• Connects easily with young people, especially those who’ve faced trauma, mental health challenges, or substance misuse.
• Is creative and confident in engaging young people, whether through music, sports, art, or other interests.
• Can work independently and as part of a team, managing a caseload and supporting residents with budgeting, benefits, and housing options.
• Has strong communication and IT skills, and ideally some knowledge of safeguarding, support plans, or key working.
• Brings transferable experience from youth work, education, housing, or similar sectors.

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 • 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 plus bank holidays
• 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. 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.
