Settle

Who we are

Settle is a charity that supports young adults as they leave the care system and move into their first home. Working in partnership with local authorities and housing associations across London, we provide intensive one-to-one support, helping young people to develop the practical life skills they need to sustain their tenancies, manage their finances and take care of their emotional wellbeing. Our preventative approach to homelessness helps care-experienced young people to lay stable and successful foundations and thrive. Since our foundation in 2015, we’ve supported over 750 young people across London and we’re proud to have won the Care Leavers category award at the 2023 Children and Young People Now Awards.

This is an extremely exciting time for Settle. Last year, we worked with more young people than ever before, launched our Advocacy Forum led by young people and expanded our team. Today, we’re in our tenth year as a charity, and we're a team of 21 brilliant staff, delivering sector-leading impact for young people at risk of homelessness through our innovative programmes.

In joining Settle, you’ll be joining a fast growing and truly impactful organisation with opportunities for progression and development within our friendly team. We are proud to have been voted one of Escape the City’s Top 100 companies to ‘escape’ to in 2021.

Our culture and values

We are a dedicated and supportive team committed to providing the best possible service to the young people we work with and creating an inclusive, fun work environment with a strong focus on staff wellbeing. In our most recent staff survey, 100% of the team said they would recommend Settle as an employer.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are dedicated to being a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging and where diversity is celebrated. We recently ran a workshop to explore what belonging is at Settle which sparked some fascinating discussions which we will continue reflecting on.

To support this, we have regular staff satisfaction and wellbeing surveys to ensure everyone’s voices are heard and the responses help shape us as an employer and as a team. In our last staff survey, 100% of respondents said they would recommend Settle as a good place to work and 95% said they feel a sense of belonging at Settle.
