* Manage a caseload and work with external agencies to deliver tailored support.
About You
* Experience working with young people, housing, supported accommodation, education, or related sectors.
* Able to engage with individuals who may have experienced trauma, mental health challenges, or substance misuse.
* Strong communication, organisational, and IT skills.
* Confident working independently and as part of a team.
* Knowledge of safeguarding, support planning, or key working is desirable.
Benefits
* 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
* Up to 10% pension contribution.
* 4x Life Assurance.
* Flexible benefits including healthcare, dental and retail discounts.
* Funded training and apprenticeship opportunities.
* Two paid volunteering days per year.
* Family-friendly policies and supportive team culture.

* Shifts may include early mornings and evenings.
* In-person interviews at Brockley on 27 August 2026.
