Make a real difference in women’s lives
Are you passionate about supporting women to rebuild their lives after homelessness and trauma? Do you believe that everyone deserves more than just a roof over their head?
At Keychange, we’re looking for a Support Worker to join our Esther Community in Exeter — a small, specialist service providing safe, trauma-informed accommodation for women experiencing homelessness.
About Esther Community
Esther Community offers a supportive, all-female environment where women can begin recovery, rebuild confidence, and prepare for a more secure future. Our women’s provision consists of five self-contained bedsits, alongside shared communal spaces and a garden, creating a calm and respectful place to live.
As a Christian charity, we are inspired by Christ’s example of love and service — but we warmly welcome people of all faiths and none, both as residents and colleagues.

As a Support Worker, you’ll play a vital part in the day-to-day running of the service and in supporting women on their individual journeys. This is a varied and rewarding role combining practical support, emotional encouragement, and casework. There is some flexibility to autonomously choose your working hours to suit your schedule.
You will:
- Build trusting relationships with women and provide strengths-based, person-centred support
- Act as a key worker, supporting women to identify goals around health, wellbeing, housing, education, employment, and relationships
- Carry out assessments, support planning, reviews, and accurate case recording
- Support women to access benefits, housing, and external services

- Help maintain a safe, welcoming, and well-run living environment
- Respond calmly and professionally to challenging or crisis situations
- Contribute to a supportive, values-led team culture

- A non-judgemental, caring and flexible approach
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills

Desirable:

- Training in trauma-informed practice or mental health
- Knowledge of housing legislation or welfare benefits
- Experience with being a floating support worker
