About The Role
Want to use your communication and listening skills to support people experiencing homelessness in Bristol as a Project Worker?
Where you’ll be working
St Mungo’s Bristol Accommodation Services are taking on an exciting expansion, including Toll House Court in Southville. Toll House Court is a historic building, with 20 supported housing bedspaces for people experiencing homelessness.
The service provides accommodation and housing related support to people experiencing homelessness; dedicated to providing a safe, high quality and inclusive service to people while they are living in the hostel, and a positive move-on into independent housing.
You will join a dynamic team of managers, day shift and night shift workers, taking part in the renewal of the service, helping us to provide a psychologically-informed environment and a supportive and secure place where our residents can make meaningful life changes.
What you’ll be doing as a Project Worker
- Oversee a caseload of clients and provide ongoing 1-1 support in an approachable, caring and person-centred way.

- Have a good understanding of a person centred approach and how to provide the right support to clients to meet individual needs, identifying personal aims and ambitions and making plans to achieve them.
- Work with the team, external statutory agencies and voluntary organisations to ensure everyone has access to available support.
- Continue to develop your skills further around working with clients in a holistic way - we will provide training and support to help you gain a deeper understanding of housing and benefits law, and other specialist areas through training, supervision and line management support.
When you'll be working
You will work full time on-site on a 7‑day rolling rota, including early shifts from 7:30am, late shifts until around 10pm, bank holidays, and two extended weekend shifts in every six. Some roles also offer a 20% pay premium for hours worked between 8pm–8am Monday to Friday, and for all weekend hours.
About you

We are looking for inspirational, people who will be committed to our recovery ethos, and has a genuine interest to support people to rebuild their lives. If you can demonstrate the below we’d love to hear from you!
