About Julian House

Julian House is a charity dedicated to making a difference to the lives of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in society. We run several projects and every year we help thousands of people out of homelessness, into employment, away from domestic abuse, and more.

If you’d like a real sense of job satisfaction, great career prospects, and a competitive benefits package, you could be who we’re looking for!

The Role

As a Supported Housing Worker, you’ll be at the heart of making a real difference. Your role goes beyond managing referrals and assessing needs—you’ll empower clients to maintain their accommodation and take positive steps toward lasting change.

Working across our supported housing services in beautiful Bath, you’ll support a diverse and complex client group, tackling challenges with resilience, creativity, and empathy. Every day brings something new, from helping someone regain independence to building trust and stability.

Collaboration is key—you’ll work closely with partners such as the National Probation Service, Police, and local support agencies, ensuring a joined-up approach that truly transforms lives. If you’re passionate about people and thrive in a role where no two days are the same, this is your chance to make an impact that matters.

Responsibilities include

• Manage referrals and outcomes: Track and progress referrals into the service, ensuring smooth transitions and positive outcomes for service users.
• Assess needs and risks: Complete thorough needs and risk assessments, leading to tailored support plans that meet individual requirements and help reduce re-offending.
• Onboard new clients: Ensure clients understand their rights, responsibilities, and the conditions of their licence agreement when joining the service.
• Deliver high-quality support: Provide a person-centred service that is strength-based and trauma-informed, promoting empowerment and resilience.
