Make a Difference Every Day
We're looking for a Support Worker to join our Young People's Service, supporting 18-24-year-olds, including young people leaving care and those who have experienced homelessness.
This is a semi-independent housing service, meaning you'll provide support and guidance rather than personal care.
You'll help young people build confidence, develop life skills, and move towards independent living, making a real difference to their future.

* Completing support plans, risk assessments, and regular reviews

* Encouraging engagement with education, employment, training, and community services
* Working with external agencies to ensure the best outcomes for young people
* Keeping accurate records and maintaining safeguarding standards
* Working both independently and as part of a supportive team
Why Join Peabody?
At Peabody, our values guide everything we do:
Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together.
You'll receive:
* 25 days annual leave
* Flexible benefits including healthcare, dental cover, and retail discounts
* Up to 10% pension contribution and 4x life assurance
* Learning and development opportunities, including funded apprenticeships
Shift Pattern
This role works on a 2-week rolling rota, including:
* Weekday shifts
* Approximately one weekend shift per week
* Some Bank Holiday working
* No sleep-ins required
Additional Information
* Enhanced DBS check required
* Full driving licence preferred but not essential
* Travel to training in Houghton Regis and occasionally other Hertfordshire locations will be required
