Help people unlock their future
At Key Unlocking Futures, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live independently, feel valued and look positively towards the future.
We're looking for a compassionate and motivated Housing Support Worker to support vulnerable adults and young people living within our supported accommodation services in Preston.
This is an opportunity to make a real difference every day, helping people overcome challenges, build confidence and take positive steps towards a more independent future.
About The Role
You'll work alongside residents who may be facing a range of challenges, providing practical and person-centred support that focuses on their strengths, aspirations and potential.
Building trusted relationships will be at the heart of everything you do. You'll help residents achieve their goals, develop life skills, access opportunities and work towards greater independence, whilst working closely with partner agencies and professionals to provide the right support at the right time.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
