Housing Support Worker Young Persons

Join Inspire North as a Housing Support Worker!

Ready to make a real difference... and feel great doing it? At Inspire North, we believe every young person deserves someone in their corner - someone who sees their potential, champions their strengths, and helps them take brave steps toward independence. If that sounds like your kind of job, pull up a chair - we'd love to meet you.

Working within OWL, one of our OFSTED registered services, you'll support young people aged 16-25, including care leavers and unaccompanied asylum seekers, who may be at risk of homelessness. You'll play a vital role in helping them feel safe, supported and confident as they take steps toward independent living. This is practical, hands‑on work, providing both pre‑ and post‑tenancy support shaped around each young person's strengths, needs and lived experiences.

While the role can be challenging at times, it is also deeply rewarding and relies on patience, resilience and the ability to build consistent, trusting relationships – particularly with young people who may have experienced trauma or instability.

This role operates Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm and involves travel across Leeds to support young people in the community.

• Build confidence and independence at a pace that works for them
• Develop the practical skills they need to secure and sustain a tenancy
• Feel safe, heard and believed in
• Successfully move on into independent living

We'd love to hear from you if you bring a thoughtful, caring approach to your work and enjoy supporting people to grow in confidence and independence. You'll likely have:

• You care deeply about young people's safety and wellbeing and naturally keep this at the heart of what you do
• You communicate clearly and kindly, helping others feel understood and supported
• You build positive, respectful relationships while keeping healthy boundaries
• You're comfortable supporting young people to manage their homes and grow in independence
• You enjoy working alongside people from all walks of life, bringing empathy and understanding
• You stay organised, flexible and ready to adapt when things change
• You value inclusion, equity and creating a space where everyone feels they belong
• You hold a full UK driving licence (or equivalent) and can travel for the role

• Flexible working options so you can balance life and work in a way that genuinely works for you.
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 30 days with service – because rest matters.
• Loads of
  learning and career development opportunities, including paid and personalised training to help you grow.
• Free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme 24/7, including counselling and GP services - your wellbeing comes first.
• Employer contributory pension scheme to help secure your future.
• Great maternity, paternity and adoption benefits to support you and your family.
• Exclusive care workers discounts to make everyday life that bit easier.
• Active Employee Networks including People of Colour, LGBT+, Mental Health and Accessibility - because everyone deserves to belong.
• Health and wellbeing initiatives to help you feel your best, inside and out.
• Cycle to Work Scheme to keep you moving and support greener choices.
• Corporate Health Plan to support your physical and mental health
