We’re looking for a compassionate and motivated Housing First Support Worker to join a dedicated team helping people across Bristol to sustain tenancies and rebuild their lives.

About the role:

You’ll work with individuals who have experienced homelessness and multiple disadvantages, supporting them to maintain their homes and achieve their personal goals.

Your work will include:

• Building trusting relationships and delivering consistent, one-to-one support
• Managing a caseload of clients, responding flexibly to their needs and aspirations
• Advocating for clients and liaising with a range of agencies to remove barriers and improve access to services
• Promoting inclusion, independence and recovery in all aspects of your work
• Maintaining accurate records and contributing to service development and reporting.

About you:

• You’ll bring experience of working with people with complex and multiple needs, such as homelessness, mental health challenges, substance use, or offending histories. You’ll be confident engaging people who may be reluctant to access services and skilled at building positive, trusting relationships.
• You will also have:
• Knowledge of tenancy support and housing issues
• Strong communication, advocacy and problem-solving skills
• A flexible, creative and person-centred approach
• Understanding of equality, diversity and safeguarding principles
• Ability to travel across Bristol and work flexibly to meet clients’ needs
• Experience in a Housing First or similar service is desirable.

What we offer:

• A rewarding opportunity to make a lasting difference in people’s lives, working within a supportive team that values learning, diversity, and innovation.
