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.

  • Helping with everyday life skills such as budgeting, cooking, cleaning, and managing a tenancy
  • 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
