About the Role

We are looking for a compassionate and resilient Female Support Worker to join our supported living service for female prison leavers. The service provides short-stay, transitional accommodation for women who are rebuilding their lives following release from custody.

This is a rewarding role where you will support women to develop independence, stability, and confidence during a critical transition period.

This post is restricted to female applicants under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010, due to the nature of the service and the needs of the women we support.

  • Support residents with resettlement goals, including housing, benefits, health, and daily living skills

  • Encourage engagement with probation, substance misuse services, mental health services, and other agencies

  • Promote independence, safety, and wellbeing within the service

  • Maintain accurate records, risk assessments, and support plans

  • Work collaboratively with colleagues and external professionals

  • Uphold safeguarding, equality, and trauma-informed practices at all times

About You

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has experience working with vulnerable women, prison leavers, or in supported housing (desirable but not essential)

  • Is non-judgemental, patient, and emotionally resilient

  • Understands the challenges faced by women leaving custody (e.g. trauma, abuse, substance use, mental health)

  • Can work confidently both independently and as part of a team

  • Has good communication and basic IT skills

  • Is willing to work shifts, including evenings/weekends if required

Full training and ongoing support will be provided.

What We Offer

  • Comprehensive induction and training

  • Supportive management and supervision

  • Opportunities for professional development

  • A meaningful role making a real difference to women's lives
