Young Parents & Young Persons Support Worker
£25,878 per annum + benefits | Pathways, Bath, BA2 | Permanent
Full Time | 37 hours per week
Your Support. Their Independence. Stronger Futures.
Moving into your first home is a big step at any age. For the young people and young parents at Pathways, it often follows family breakdown or homelessness. What they need next is someone in their corner who believes they can make it work.
Pathways is our supported housing service in central Bath. The people living here have medium to high support needs and stay with us for up to two years, in a mix of bedsit flats and rooms in shared houses, while they build the skills and confidence to move on.
As our Young Parents & Young Persons Support Worker, you'll work one to one with a small caseload, shaping support around what each person wants help with. That might be budgeting, managing their tenancy, looking after their wellbeing or planning their next move. Sessions don't have to happen in an office. A walk or a coffee can work just as well.
You'll be backed by an experienced Team Leader and a supportive team. If you bring the right values and a willingness to learn, we'll help you develop the rest.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
