Accommodation Concern Jobs

Accommodation Concern is a registered charity (number 1146257) based in Kettering, providing free advice and supported accommodation to prevent homelessness and poverty across North and West Northamptonshire. The organisation works with people facing homelessness, debt, benefits problems, mental health pressure or a major life change, combining practical housing solutions with the kind of person-centred advice that helps people move from crisis towards stability.

What they do

Accommodation Concern runs supported accommodation services alongside a wider advice offer covering housing advice, debt advice, benefits advice and employability support, including a local "Northants Thrive" programme. Referrals into supported accommodation and advice services are accepted directly through the charity's own website, and the organisation positions itself as a practical, first-contact service for people in or approaching a housing crisis in the Kettering and wider North and West Northamptonshire area.

What it's like to work there

Accommodation Concern is an accredited Real Living Wage employer and a Disability Confident Committed employer, and describes itself as looking for people who can treat those they support with dignity, stay calm under pressure and want their work to make a genuine difference — welcoming applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including people with relevant lived experience. Staff have access to a Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme (24/7 helpline, counselling, virtual GP appointments), charity worker discount schemes, and progression has historically included frontline staff moving into specialist, management and leadership roles within the organisation. The charity was a 2026 Northamptonshire Business Awards Workplace Wellbeing Award winner and holds Cyber Essentials certification.

Typical roles span front-line supported accommodation and advice work (housing, debt, benefits and employability advisers and support workers) through to operations, business support and leadership positions.
