Are you passionate about supporting vulnerable people to live well and independently? Do you thrive in a role where no two days are the same, and your leadership skills can truly shine? If so, we want you on our team!
As a Senior Support Worker with Peabody, you’ll play a key role in supporting both your team and our customers. You’ll help guide our Support Workers and Peer Workers, ensuring they have the tools and support they need to deliver high-quality services to individuals with complex needs, including those with mental health and substance use challenges.

In addition, you'll be involved in recruiting, inducting, and developing your team, making sure they have the right skills to succeed.
Working closely with external agencies, you’ll ensure the right support is in place for customers, handling safeguarding and managing risks effectively. You’ll also promote activities that support recovery and involvement, empowering customers to flourish and thrive. When your Team Manager is unavailable, you’ll step up and ensure everything continues to run smoothly.
In this role, you’ll take a trauma-informed and recovery-focused approach, supporting customers on their journey to independence and helping them overcome barriers. You’ll build positive, professional relationships both inside and outside Peabody, ensuring that our customers receive the best possible support.

You'll need to be comfortable lone working and confident making decisions in a fast-paced environment. We’ll provide the tools and training you need to thrive, but your dedication and positive approach are what will make the real difference.
If you’re ready to step into a meaningful role where you can lead, support, and inspire others every day, we’d love to hear from you!
