About the role: 

A safe, secure home can change everything. But for people facing poverty, poor health, debt, substance use or other forms of multiple disadvantage, keeping hold of a private rented tenancy can be difficult without the right support.

As our Private Rented Sector (PRS) Floating Support Worker, you’ll work alongside adults living in private rented accommodation, helping them overcome the barriers that could put their home at risk. You’ll build trusting relationships, understand what matters to each person and support them to strengthen the skills, confidence and stability they need to sustain their tenancy and live more independently.

No two days will look the same. You could be helping someone tackle rent arrears or navigate benefits, supporting them to understand their tenancy rights, working with a landlord or letting agent to resolve a housing issue, or connecting them with health, employment and community services. You’ll manage your own caseload and work predominantly in the community, including visiting clients in their homes and working closely with a range of partner agencies.

This is a 12-month fixed-term opportunity to make a tangible difference at the point where the right intervention can prevent someone from losing their home. You’ll join an experienced and supportive team, with access to regular supervision, reflective practice and opportunities to continue developing your knowledge and skills.

Please note the role sits within our Westminster Floating Support Team, but is based out of an SHP office in Vauxhall, Lambeth. 

About you:

• You are experienced in supporting people experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity and/or multiple disadvantage, and know how to build trust while keeping support focused on the person’s own goals.
• You understand the private rented sector and the pressures that can put a tenancy at risk, including rent arrears, benefits, debt, repairs and relationships with landlords or letting agents.
• You are confident assessing risk, responding to safeguarding concerns and maintaining clear professional boundaries while supporting people to retain choice and control.
• You are a strong communicator who can work collaboratively with clients, landlords, local authorities and other services, advocating when needed while helping people build their own confidence to navigate systems.
• You are organised, adaptable and comfortable managing a varied caseload independently, with the ability to keep accurate records and balance competing priorities.
