Rotherham Project Worker

Are you passionate about making a tangible impact locally and changing the lives of vulnerable young people? Roundabout is looking for a Project Worker to support homeless young people aged 16-25 in Rotherham.

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

To provide high-quality, person-centred support to vulnerable young people aged 16–25 experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, including those with complex and multiple needs such as substance misuse, mental health challenges, offending behaviours, trauma histories, and high dependency support requirements.

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.

The project worker will deliver intensive housing-related support across emergency accommodation, short-term supported accommodation, and tenancy sustainment services, empowering young people to develop independent living skills, improve wellbeing, reduce risk, and achieve positive long-term outcomes.

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.
