Deadline: Monday 19th January 2026 at 3pm

The Project Worker role is designed for someone who has a passion for working with young people with extremely complex needs who often can’t access mainstream housing and homeless services.

You will work as part of a team to provide support to young people aged 16-25 years in a range of accommodation base services.

You will be the first point of contact with services and support young people on a one-to-one basis, tailoring the support to their individual needs. By being a continued single point of contact you will support them in their recovery to find employment, undertake training, cultivate positive social circles and develop the necessary skills to maintain accommodation and independence, ultimately avoiding a return to homelessness.

You will engage young people in their own support to develop skills that will enable them to resettle into the wider community and sustain settled accommodation. You will undertake multi‑agency work to support young people to access other services in line with their needs and goals for the future. You will be based in a 24/7 support service working on a rota basis – this includes evening and weekends as required. The role will require some bank holiday working too.
