Our Vacancy

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

At Peabody, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build a safe, stable, and independent future and you could be part of making that happen.

We’re looking for a friendly, motivated Housing Support Worker to support adults experiencing homelessness as they take important steps towards independence and long-term housing.

This isn’t a personal care role. Instead, it’s all about guidance, encouragement, and practical support, helping people rebuild confidence, develop life skills, and move forward in their lives.

As part of our team, you’ll:

Support individuals in building essential life skills such as budgeting, managing benefits, and sustaining a tenancy
Create a safe, positive, and non-judgemental environment where people feel respected and valued
Encourage independence and support individuals to set and achieve their own goals
Bring your own interests and personality (whether that’s sport, wellbeing, practical skills, or creative activities) to engage and motivate
Work collaboratively with colleagues and external agencies to ensure each person receives the right support

You don’t have to tick every box, but we’re especially interested in someone who:

Builds strong, trusting relationships with adults, including those who may have experienced trauma, homelessness, or complex challenges
Brings empathy, resilience, and a person-centred approach
Is confident managing their own workload while also being a strong team player
Has good communication and basic IT skills
Has some experience (or transferable skills) from areas such as housing, support work, outreach, health, or social care
Ideally has some awareness of safeguarding, support planning, or key working

When you join Peabody, you become part of a supportive team that lives by its values:

Be Kind Do the Right Thing Love New Ideas Celebrate Diversity Keep Our Promises Pull Together

We’re committed to creating a workplace where you feel valued, included, and empowered, just as we aim to do for the people we support.

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 full-time, onsite role, and you’ll need to be available to work five days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Shifts may include early mornings and evenings, so flexibility is key.

We’re reviewing applications as they come in, so you may hear from us before the closing date - please keep an eye on your inbox and phone.
Interviews will take place no later than Tuesday 30th June 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 the right opportunity 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
