Housing First Support Worker – Connect Community Trust (Somerset)
Salary: £27,669.10 per annum (pro rata) 35hrs a week
Are you passionate about walking alongside people as they rebuild their lives? We re looking for a compassionate and committed Housing First Support Worker to help people move on from homelessness into secure, independent living.
This is a truly person‑centred, community-based role where relationships are at the heart of everything. You ll work with individuals who have often experienced significant trauma and exclusion, offering flexible, long‑term support that adapts to their needs. Through patience, consistency, and trust, you ll support people to maintain their tenancies, improve their wellbeing, and reconnect with their communities.
You ll hold a small caseload, enabling you to provide meaningful, tailored support whether that s helping someone set up their new home, access health and recovery services, manage finances, or simply being a steady, reliable presence in their lives. Working collaboratively with local partners, you ll play a key role in helping people build a stable and hopeful future.
About you:
You ll bring experience of working with people facing homelessness, mental health challenges, or other complex needs, alongside a genuine belief that everyone deserves a safe place to call home. You ll be resilient, empathetic, and able to work both independently and as part of a wider team. Strong communication skills are essential, as is a full driving licence and access to a vehicle, given the rural nature of the role.
For an informal conversation, please contact Suzanne Addicott directly.
Rolling interviews we encourage early applications.
