Home, a place where you belong

Want to be part of a team that truly cares, not only about our customers, but about you too? Our colleagues tell us that working here feels different. We’re brilliant at what we do, and we look after each other just as much as we support our customers. If you’ve ever felt like just a number in your current job, this could be the change you’ve been waiting for.

You’ll help people with complex needs live more independently, where no two days are the same. One moment you’re helping someone take a big step towards their goals, the next you’re supporting them through life’s everyday ups and downs.

What you’ll do

• Lead support planning and coordinate our Support Workers to deliver person-centred support

• Balance support, safeguarding, admin and meetings while guiding colleagues and managing caseloads

• Support Customers with daily tasks like budgeting, cooking and attending appointments

• Work with multi-agency teams to safeguard and empower our customers

• Help customers build independence and prepare for their move-on into the community

Why join us

This is more than a job, it’s a place where you feel valued. You get great training, support from friendly colleagues and a chance to make a real difference every day. Be part of one of the UK’s top 10 Great Places to Work!

You have

• Level 3 Diploma in Care or equivalent experience (or are willing to work towards it)

• The ability to work under your own initiative, remain calm under pressure and have a resilient approach

Stronger together

We do our best work when we’re ourselves. That’s why inclusion, wellbeing, and our diversity networks help make Home Group a great place to work!

The practical bits

• The role is based in our services supporting our young people that have experienced Homelessness. You will help them learn how to manage a tenancy successfully and move on to independent accommodation.

• Our team work on a rota basis from 8am to 8pm and work every third weekend having days off in the week when they do.

• You work as part of a larger team with some lone working involved.

• You need an Enhanced with barring list (we pay)

• A vehicle insured for business use (and a license!), we’ll pay for any business mileage

What’s in it for you?

• Health cash plan saving you (and your children) £1140+ each year covering dental, opticians, prescriptions and more

• Matching pension contribution (up to 7% and life insurance of 3x basic salary)

• 800+ discounts on shops, holidays, days out, tech and more
