Job Role
Accommodation Support Officer
Make a meaningful impact every day. Are you passionate about making a difference in people’s lives? Do you have the resilience and empathy needed to support individuals from diverse backgrounds? We’re looking for committed Accommodation Support Officers to join our team and provide vital support to participants with their housing needs.
In this role, you will manage a caseload of adult males either residing in custody. Working in close partnership with probation practitioners, you will carry out initial assessments to understand each individual’s circumstances and develop tailored accommodation plans through a series of agreed interventions. You'll be required to help participants navigate housing challenges, ensure they are kept informed of decisions that affect them, and support their understanding of their rights throughout the process.
We welcome applicants from a variety of professional backgrounds, including social services, mental health, education, or those who have recently graduated and are seeking experience in the criminal justice sector. If you bring a person-focused approach and transferable skills, we’d love to hear from you. We understand that not everyone will tick every box and that’s okay. If you’re engaging, adaptable, and comfortable working with a diverse range of people, we’ll provide on-site training and ongoing support to help you grow in the role.
Excellent interpersonal skills are essential, as you will be building and maintaining effective professional relationships with both participants and external stakeholders. We’re looking for positive role models who can inspire and encourage meaningful changes in attitudes and behaviours, helping individuals take steps toward greater stability and independence.
