Housing Support Worker

Join Inspire North as a Housing Support Worker!

Ready to make a real difference… and feel great doing it?
At Inspire North, we believe every young person deserves someone in their corner – someone who sees their potential, champions their strengths, and helps them take brave steps toward independence. If that sounds like your kind of job, pull up a chair – we’d love to meet you.

Working within OWL one of our OFSTED registered services, you’ll support young people aged 16–25, including care leavers and unaccompanied asylum seekers, who may be at risk of homelessness. You’ll play a vital role in helping them feel safe, supported and confident as they take steps toward independent living.

This is practical, hands-on work, providing both pre- and post-tenancy support shaped around each young person’s strengths, needs and lived experiences. While the role can be challenging at times, it’s also deeply rewarding and relies on patience, resilience and the ability to build consistent, trusting relationships – particularly with young people who may have experienced trauma or instability.

Your focus will be on helping young people to:

• Build confidence and independence at a pace that works for them
• Develop the practical skills they need to secure and sustain a tenancy
• Feel safe, heard and believed in
• Successfully move on into independent living

Through your support, you’ll make a genuine difference, helping young people feel secure, settled and hopeful about their future.

This role operates Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm and involves travel across Leeds to support young people in the community.

What Makes You Our Kind of Person:

We’d love to hear from you if you bring a thoughtful, caring approach to your work and enjoy supporting people to grow in confidence and independence. You’ll likely have:

• You care deeply about young people’s safety and wellbeing and naturally keep this at the heart of what you do
• You communicate clearly and kindly, helping others feel understood and supported
• You build positive, respectful relationships while keeping healthy boundaries
• You’re comfortable supporting young people to manage their homes and grow in independence
• You enjoy working alongside people from all walks of life, bringing empathy and understanding
• You stay organised, flexible and ready to adapt when things change
• You value inclusion, equity and creating a space where everyone feels they belong
• You hold a full UK driving licence (or equivalent) and can travel for the role
