About the role:
For women facing multiple disadvantage, the right support can be the difference between remaining trapped by systems and beginning to rebuild safety, choice and control. As our Specialist Multiple Disadvantage Worker at Grace House, you’ll provide skilled, persistent and compassionate support to women whose experiences may include homelessness, domestic abuse, trauma, substance use, poor mental health and contact with the criminal justice system.

About you:
- You know how to build trust with women who may have been let down by services before, working with patience, honesty and consistency.

- You stay calm when situations are complex, using sound judgement to assess risk, make decisions and keep support moving forward.
- You are a determined advocate who will challenge barriers, bring partners together and keep pushing when systems are not responding.
- You are reflective, curious and ready to deepen your specialist practice, with support, supervision and development opportunities at SHP.

- Work in partnership with multi-disciplinary teams and agencies across the city to meet client’s individual needs.
It’s not always an easy job, but the opportunity to work with different people every day, helping individuals experiencing homelessness and the local community end the harms of rough sleeping can be highly rewarding.
You will work on a weekly shift rota including mornings, evenings, weekends and bank holidays. This helps us to ensure we are available to support people experiencing homelessness when they need us the most. Shifts can vary particularly during periods of extreme weather.

We are always on the lookout for people who share our ambitions. You don’t need direct experience to succeed in these rewarding roles; if you are ready to get out there and support our clients, we encourage you to apply!

ABOUT THE ROLE
Elliot Leigh Supported Living provides semi-independent supported accommodation across East and North-East London for young adults aged 18–25 who are leaving the care system. Our residents are at a pivotal moment in their lives — transitioning from care into adulthood — and they need more than just a roof over their heads.
As a Support Worker you will hold a caseload of around 10–12 residents, walking alongside each of them through that transition: managing a tenancy, navigating employment, handling money, and knowing that someone is in their corner. You will work from our East London office and visit residents in their homes, all within a manageable travel radius — this is a Monday-to-Friday daytime role, not a shift or rota post.
This is not a passive role. It demands energy, creativity and a genuine commitment to working in partnership with young adults who have often experienced significant trauma, instability and disappointment. But it also offers something rare: the chance to be the person who helps someone turn their life around.
PAY, HOURS AND BENEFITS
✓ £32,000 salary for candidates with 12 months’ relevant experience and a Level 3 qualification. Have the experience but not the Level 3? Start on £27,000, we fund the qualification, and you move to £32,000 on completion.
✓ Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm — flexible start and finish times will be considered; no evenings, weekends or bank holidays
✓ 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, rising to 30 days in line with length of service
✓ 4% employer pension contribution
✓ Enhanced DBS and Update Service subscription funded by us *subject to qualifying criteria
✓ Funded Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care or Housing, with paid study time, if you don’t already hold one
✓ A clear career ladder: Support Worker → Senior Support Worker → Team Leader, with published pay points
✓ Employee Assistance Programme with 24/7 confidential support
✓ Monthly supervision and reflective practice sessions, plus a structured four-week induction
✓ A small, inclusive team where your voice shapes how we work
✓ A company dedicated to the continuous professional development of its team members
WHAT YOU’LL DO
• Support residents to develop and sustain independent living skills — budgeting, cooking, cleaning, tenancy management
• Deliver structured keywork sessions and co-produce individual support plans with each resident
• Help residents into education, employment and training — CV writing, job applications, college enrolment
• Keep accurate, timely records on our digital case management system — keywork notes, risk assessments, support plans
• Liaise with local authority leaving care teams, social workers, personal advisers and other professionals
• Support residents to manage their mental health, wellbeing and personal challenges in a trauma-informed way
• Accompany residents to appointments with external agencies — GP, Job Centre, local authority
• Respond calmly and professionally to conflict, emotional distress or challenging behaviour
• Work with the wider team to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all residents
• Contribute to team meetings, supervision and your own continuing professional development
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Essential:
• At least 12 months’ relevant experience supporting young people or young adults in a care, supported housing, youth work or semi-independent living setting
• A genuine understanding of the challenges care leavers face in the move to independent living
• Working knowledge of safeguarding and trauma-informed practice
• Strong written and verbal communication — you will produce keywork records, risk assessments and support plans to a professional standard
• Confident IT skills and the ability to use a digital case management system
• Enhanced DBS (Adults Workforce) on the Update Service, or willingness to apply; current safeguarding certificate, or willingness to complete on appointment
• Right to work in the UK
For the £32,000 rate:
• Level 3 (or above) in Health & Social Care, Housing or a related discipline, alongside the 12 months’ experience above
Desirable:
• Experience supporting young adults into education, employment or training
• Knowledge of the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000, Care Act 2014 and Pathway Planning
• Experience with complex needs, mental health or substance use
Not quite one year’s experience yet? Ask about our Trainee Support Worker route: a 12–18 month funded Level 3 apprenticeship on £27,000, with a guaranteed move to the Support Worker scale on completion.
WHAT MAKES A GREAT ELSL SUPPORT WORKER
• Treats every young adult as a capable individual — not a case to be managed
• Understands that independence is built gradually, and shows up with patience and consistency
• Holds clear professional boundaries while staying warm and approachable
• Is solution-focused and creative enough to find a new way in when the obvious route isn’t working
• Is a confident advocate for residents with external agencies and professionals
• Takes ownership of their own development and reflective practice
HOW TO APPLY
For an informal chat about the role before applying, contact Chloe Crieghton, Service Manager, on the same address. Interviews are held in person at our East London office and include a short written exercise and time with a current resident representative.
Closing date: rolling — we interview as suitable applications arrive and will close the advert once the post is filled.
Safer recruitment: all appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS Disclosure (Adults Workforce), satisfactory references covering the last three years and completion of our Safer Recruitment process.

Supporting people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness
Citizens UK
Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.
Living Wage Foundation
The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011.
Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation (LWF) continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting over 490,000 people and winning over £4bn of better wages for people who need it most.
Citizens UK works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take the same deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.
Purpose
At Citizens UK (CUK), our organisers and project staff work within communities to develop leaders, strengthen organisations, campaign for change and organise across difference. There are various project roles and operational, communication, finance and HR roles that support the organisation and project staff and organisers to deliver on this mission and work. This work is rewarding and can be challenging; it requires a personal commitment to inclusion, a willingness to listen and disagree respectfully, and an interest in working in an organisation where our staff, member institutions and leaders will come from a diversity of backgrounds and often hold views that may be very different from our own. More information about how we operate within this context and build trusted relationships across difference can be found on our website and is covered in induction. Onboarding and navigating this relational culture, and type of work, is supported by line managers and further training.

Role Context
Recovery in Community is a successful partnership between Manchester Mind and Gaddum. We support people to manage and live with their mental health in their community. Staff are employed by both organisations but work together collaboratively and as a team.
As the Recovery in Community Worker (Referral and Assessment) you will be supporting people in who have been referred into Greater Manchester Mental Health (GMMH) services but may not meet the threshold for secondary or specialist mental health services. The aim of this work is to ensure that people referred receive the right support at the right time.
You will work closely with the Referral and Assessment team at Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust (GMMH) to take referrals and ensure people get access to the mental health and social support they need.
Role Purpose
You will be building trusting and kind relationships with the understanding that they enable people to be listened to and heard and that this makes a difference. You will be part of a team providing effective person-centred support to people who come through the referral and assessment hub – many of whom often have tried many times to get the help they need. We want to enable people to feel connected within their communities – to services, friends and family.
You will also be building relationships with NHS and statutory services. The structure of the service is brief intervention (working with people for a short period of time) with a focus on supporting people to connect to community services and resources effectively.
You will be well supported in this role. The service takes a team-based approach, and you will be joining a team of five and you will be supported directly by a Team Coordinator as well as being part of the wider Recovery in Community Service.
We share skills, experience and learning across the teams so that everyone benefits and we can make a meaningful difference.
Main Duties and Responsibilities
· Take referrals from the GMMH (Greater Manchester Mental Health) Referral and Assessment Hub and build trusting relationships with people so that they receive the support they need to recover and stay well.
· Build relationships with other key professionals to ensure individuals achieve their goals (e.g. GPs, social care, community services etc).
· Support the development of a supportive and productive referral route into and out of the service, managing exit from the service safely.
· Support the development of this new service, responding professionally to changes as we improve and evolve our working practice collaboratively.
· Provide a trauma-informed service to people: listening, offering safety, choice and empowerment to the people you support so they can effectively engage with services and make sustainable links in with their communities.
· Identify and deliver appropriate interventions.
· Identify when people need referrals to secondary services or specialist mental health services and make appropriate referrals.
· Independently travel to visit people in a range of settings across in Manchester and across Greater Manchester, adhering to lone working and risk management procedures.
· To integrate effectively with colleagues at Manchester Mind, taking a “one team approach” to deliver a seamless service, understanding the different roles in the Recovery in Community team and recognising each other's strengths.
· Maintain accurate and up-to-date case notes and records using agreed case management systems, following standard operating procedures.
· Support people to engage in our service through coproduction, engagement events and feedback forms.
· Contribute to service reporting, monitoring and evaluation as required.
· Identify additional needs that people have and highlight them to Manchester Mind with a view to sharing them with Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust and commissioners.
All staff are expected to work within all Gaddum policies and procedures. This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
Our vision is for every individual and community we walk alongside to have equitable health, wealth and self.
