Summary

Help young women build safer, more independent futures

We’re looking for an experienced and compassionate Senior Support Worker to join our Stopover Supported Housing service in Brighton & Hove.

Stopover provides women-only supported accommodation for young women aged 16–25, including young women who have recently become mothers. Our services provide different levels of support as young women move towards independence, helping them develop the skills, confidence and stability they need to sustain their own tenancy.

Working alongside the Head of Supported Housing, you’ll help oversee the day-to-day running of the project while providing trauma-informed support to young women who may have experienced homelessness, abuse, domestic violence, mental health difficulties and other challenges.

This is a varied senior role combining direct work with young women, staff supervision and partnership working. You’ll build trusted professional relationships, advocate for young women and help ensure our service provides safe, consistent and high-quality support.

You will:

• Build positive professional relationships with young women, developing individual support plans and helping them gain the skills and confidence to live independently

• Help oversee the day-to-day running of the service, including managing resident issues, risk and compliance with licence agreements

• Provide line management, supervision and development support to members of the staff team

• Advocate for young women and work collaboratively with external agencies and other professionals

• Help ensure the service operates safely and effectively in line with organisational policies, funder requirements and contractual agreements
