Job description

Our Vacancy
Join Us as a Housing Support Worker – Be the Bridge Between Temporary Accommodation and a Home. 

At Peabody, we’re committed to helping people build stable, confident futures. We’re looking for a Housing Support Worker who is compassionate, proactive, and ready to support adults and families living in temporary accommodation.

This is not a care role. It’s a practical, hands on support position focused on empowering people to manage their tenancies, develop essential life skills, and overcome barriers that may be affecting their housing stability. You’ll be working alongside tenants to help them feel more in control of their circumstances, stay independent, and move on positively at the end of their term.

What you’ll be doing:
In this role, you’ll provide high quality, person centred housing support to adults and families living in temporary accommodation, helping them build the skills and confidence needed to sustain their tenancies and move on successfully. You’ll work flexibly, delivering 1-to-1 support both over the phone and through home visits, adapting your approach to meet the diverse needs, backgrounds, and circumstances of each household. Acting as a bridge between accommodation and a stable home, you’ll ensure tenants have the knowledge, tools, and support networks needed to thrive throughout their housing journey.

Your role will involve:

  • Risk Management: Completing and regularly updating risk assessments to ensure the safety of tenants, the community, and yourself.
  • Housing Related Support: Offering guidance on budgeting, benefit claims (including Universal Credit and Housing Benefit), rent payments, and basic home management.
  • Signposting & Advocacy: Identifying additional needs such as mental health, employment, or substance misuse, and connecting tenants to specialist external agencies.
  • Administrative Excellence: Maintaining accurate digital case notes in real time, ensuring GDPR compliance and strong, high quality reporting
  • Team Collaboration: Providing “roving” support to colleagues and assisting at other schemes when required to ensure continuity of service.
  • Holistic Support Planning: Co producing personalised support plans with tenants, setting clear and measurable goals to strengthen housing stability and overall wellbeing.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex housing information clearly to a diverse tenant group, including individuals and families.
  • Ability to travel independently to tenants’ homes as part of regular support delivery.
  • Experience in housing, social care or community support (desirable but not essential – full training provided for the right candidate).
  • High proficiency in Microsoft Office 365 and digital case management systems, with confident report writing skills.
  • Excellent people skills and the ability to build rapport while maintaining professional boundaries.
  • A collaborative, “can do” attitude with a willingness to support other schemes and colleagues during busy periods.

Why join us? When you join Peabody, you’re joining a team guided by our values, Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together. We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels supported, included, and empowered.

What You’ll Get:
•    25 days’ annual leave 
•    Flexible benefits including healthcare, dental, and discounts.
•    4x Life Assurance and up to 10% pension contribution.
•    Professional development, including funded apprenticeships.
•    Two paid volunteering days each year.
•    Family-friendly policies and a supportive team culture.

Please read before applying:

This is a part-time role - 18.75 hours per week
Shifts may include early mornings and evenings, so flexibility is key.

We’re reviewing applications as they come in, so you might hear from us before the closing date, keep an eye on your inbox and your phone! 

Closing date: 05 February 2026
Microsoft Teams interviews will take place on Wednesday 11th January 2026, followed by in-person interviews at the service in Braintree on Friday 13th February 2026.

Please note: Peabody is not a licensed UK sponsor, so we’re unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

If this sounds like we are right for you and you’d love to be part of Peabody, we’d like to hear from you. 

Please apply now by submitting an anonymised CV and a short statement explaining why you’re the perfect fit for this role.
