Are you passionate about supporting people with severe and enduring mental health needs to live independently and thrive in their community? Do you enjoy building relationships from the ground up, having honest conversations and being a steady, authoritative presence when things feel challenging? If so, you could be just who we’re looking for.
As a Housing Enabler, you’ll work closely with customers living at our Wood Hayes Place and Saxon Court schemes, supporting individuals with complex mental health needs. You’ll help customers to manage their tenancies, understand their responsibilities and develop the confidence and skills they need to maintain their homes and wellbeing.
What success looks like in this role

You’re comfortable having honest, sometimes challenging conversations, and you’re tenacious in seeing things through.
- You collaborate effectively with multi‑agency partners, bringing people together to solve problems and ensure customers receive joined‑up support. You manage your time well across two schemes, adapt to changing priorities, and bring steady leadership and sound judgement to everything you do.
- Above all, you’re personable, flexible and committed to doing the right thing — helping customers feel supported, safe and empowered to move forward.

- Has experience supporting people with severe and enduring mental health needs
