Floating Support Worker - Young Persons At Peabody, we’re passionate about creating opportunities for young people to thrive. We’re looking for a Floating Support Worker who is kind, proactive, and ready to support young people aged 18–25, including care leavers, on their journey to independence. This is not a care role - it’s a practical and emotional support position, helping young people build life skills, access housing, and feel empowered to shape their future. The role will involve driving between various properties across Borehamwood. You will require a driving licence and your own car. What You’ll Be Doing In this role, you’ll support young people to develop the skills they need for independent living, including navigating housing options, managing benefits, and budgeting. You’ll help create a safe, non-judgmental environment where they feel empowered and respected. By bringing your own passions, whether in music, art, sports, or other interests, you’ll enrich the community and build meaningful connections. You’ll also work closely with colleagues and external partners to ensure each young person receives the right support at the right time. What We’re Looking For * Someone who connects easily with young people, especially those who’ve faced trauma, mental health challenges, or substance misuse. * Is creative and confident in engaging young people, whether through music, sports, art, or other interests. * Can work independently and as part of a team, managing a caseload and supporting residents with budgeting, benefits, and housing options. * Has strong communication and IT skills, and ideally some knowledge of safeguarding, support plans, or key working. * Brings transferable experience from youth work, education, housing, or similar sectors. Please note - this is a part-time, onsite role and you’ll need to be available to work 3 or 4 days a week. (The team are flexible on what days of the week and start/finish times, as long as its 18.75 hours per week) What You’ll Get * 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays. * Flexible benefits including healthcare, dental, and discounts. * 4x Life Assurance and up to 10% pension contribution. * Family-friendly policies and a supportive team culture.
