  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

• 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
