Make a Real Difference in St Albans – Join Peabody as a Part-Time Support Worker (Mental Health, Complex Needs & Learning Disabilities)

Are you passionate about helping people live more independently?
Peabody is looking for a caring, proactive, and motivated Part-Time Support Worker to join our vibrant services in St Albans. You'll split your time between two supportive housing schemes – Milligan House (mental health support) and Russet Drive (learning disabilities) – both just 10 minutes apart.

This is your chance to support people to thrive, build skills, and regain confidence.

About the Services

🌟 Milligan House – A dry house for adults recovering from mental health challenges, working closely with local services to build resilience and independence.

🌟 Russet Drive – A friendly, supportive environment for adults with learning disabilities who live independently but need a little extra help with life skills.

Both services are calm, community-focused, and designed to empower our residents to move forward.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Helping customers develop vital life skills – like budgeting, cooking, and managing a tenancy.

  • Providing emotional and practical support – building confidence, celebrating successes, and tackling challenges together.

  • Promoting social inclusion – encouraging community participation and running small group activities.

  • Working in partnership with local authorities, health teams, and voluntary organisations.

Hours:
20 hours per week (Mon-Fri, between 9 AM – 5 PM — no evenings, no weekends!)

Travel:
You'll need a driving licence and access to a vehicle to travel between schemes.

What We're Looking For

  • A warm, non-judgmental approach and a real passion for empowering others.
  • Experience in housing-related support (tenancy sustainment, benefits, support plans).
  • Strong IT and admin skills to keep support plans and records up to date.
  • A self-starter who’s confident working both independently and as part of a team.
  • Experience or understanding of mental health, learning disabilities, or housing support (professional or personal) is a real plus!

Why Peabody?

  • Flexible working – fit your life around work
  • 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays (pro rata)
  • Enhanced DBS & full training provided
  • 4x salary life assurance & up to 10% pension contribution
  • Two paid volunteering days every year
  • Opportunities to grow and develop your career
