RSAP Tenancy Support Worker

What will you be doing?

This is a new and exciting opportunity having secured funding from Government through the Rough Sleeping Prevention and Recovery Grant 2025/26 (RSPRG) to provide move-on homes to help reduce rough sleeping in North Northamptonshire. Our portfolio of RSAP properties provide settled supported accommodation to our cohort of individuals who have experienced rough sleeping on an entrenched basis and who have often experienced trauma leading to complex support needs.

We are therefore looking to recruit a dedicated and motivated individual to provide a seamless tenancy support service to rough sleepers accommodated via this programme.

Please note this post is fixed term for one year with the possibility for extension dependent on external grant funding.

About you

You will have experience of working in a support role, including assessment, support planning and advocacy and an ability to work with vulnerable people with complex needs.

Working effectively as part of a team and with the ability to develop good working relationships with colleagues and service users, you will be able to work well under your own initiative and prioritise your workload.

To succeed in the role, you must be focused on achieving positive outcomes, have excellent communication skills and demonstrate effective problem-solving skills.
