This is not a care role. It’s a practical and emotional support position, helping young people build life skills, access housing and feel empowered to shape their future.
What you’ll be doing
In this role, you’ll support young people to develop the skills they need for independent living, including navigating housing options, managing benefits, and budgeting. You’ll help create a safe, non-judgmental environment where they feel empowered and respected. By bringing your own passions, whether in music, art, sports, or other interests, you’ll enrich the community and build meaningful connections. You’ll also work closely with colleagues and external partners to ensure each young person receives the right support at the right time.
What we’re looking for - we need someone who:
* Connects easily with young people, especially those who’ve faced trauma, mental health challenges, or substance misuse.
* Is creative and confident in engaging young people, whether through music, sports, art, or other interests.
* Can work independently and as part of a team, managing a caseload and supporting residents with budgeting, benefits, and housing options.
* Has strong communication and IT skills, and ideally some knowledge of safeguarding, support plans, or key working.
* Brings transferable experience from youth work, education, housing, or similar sectors.
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 plus bank holidays.
* 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.
