About Us

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic Charity and Housing Association. The Society of St James (SSJ) has been working in Hampshire for over 50 years, delivering high impact, person-centred, accommodation services to adults and young people experiencing homelessness, problematic substance use and mental health problems. We believe that every person is of worth and we are prepared to take risks to house and support the most at risk and socially excluded members of society.

Make a real difference where it matters most. Come join SSJ as a Homeless Support Worker.

The Impact You'll Make

Working in our 24/7 intensive homelessness accommodation, you will provide critical life skills and housing-related support to individuals with complex needs. Your core focus will be on driving key outcomes—such as improving daily living skills, boosting self-esteem, enhancing long-term health, and encouraging engagement with support services and meaningful occupation.

Your daily responsibilities will include:

Promoting Harm Reduction & Health: Facilitating harm minimisation (including needle exchange procedures and Naloxone administration) and encouraging healthy lifestyle choices.
Teaching Basic Life Skills & Housing Management: Supporting residents with budgeting, tenancy processes, breakfast preparation, and maintaining personal/communal hygiene.
Key-Work & Support Planning: Assisting with risk assessments, updating case notes/IT systems, logging maintenance requests, and coordinating room clearances and turnarounds.
Providing Essential Emotional & Community Support: Offering empathy and stability while helping residents access volunteering, training, or opportunities like selling The Big Issue.
Maintaining Safety: Carrying out regular welfare checks, reporting safeguarding concerns, and handling incoming rent/petty cash in line with financial procedures.

Who We're Looking For

We are searching for someone with a compassionate approach who can deal with difficult or challenging behaviour calmly, effectively, and professionally.

Essential Qualities, Skills & Knowledge

Communication & IT Skills: Ability to listen, build positive relationships, and maintain accurate records (case notes, handover logs, emails) using IT systems.
Adaptability & Initiative: Able to work flexibly on a 12-hour shift rota, respond effectively to emergencies, and manage time well within a team.
Empathy & Awareness: A genuine sense of humor, dynamic understanding of equality and diversity, and strict adherence to professional boundaries.
Key Domain Knowledge: Understanding of mental health, substance use, lone working, and adult safeguarding/protection.

Desirable Experience

Prior experience working with individuals with histories of homelessness, mental health problems, or substance misuse in a residential or supported housing environment.

We value and recognise our staff, offering some generous benefits, as well as the satisfaction of helping people at risk:

A competitive annual leave entitlement of 25 days rising to 30 days, plus public holidays

Buying additional annual leave
