Making Space Charity Jobs

Making Space is a national mental health and social care charity founded in 1982 and based in Warrington, providing care and support services across the North West of England, Yorkshire and beyond, including a substantial supported housing offer for people affected by homelessness and complex needs.

Supported housing services

Alongside its wider mental health and social care work, Making Space runs dedicated Supported Housing services providing short and long-term, and emergency temporary, accommodation for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including services across Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens, Wigan, Blackburn & Darwen, Manchester South and Lancashire Central. These services combine safe, stable housing with tailored support to help people build the skills and confidence to sustain a tenancy and move towards independent living.

Wider services

Making Space's broader portfolio includes community mental health support, learning disability services, dementia and older people's care, and carer support, delivered through around 32 CQC-registered services and community contracts across England.

Working at Making Space

Making Space employs around 1,000 staff, recruiting support workers, scheme managers and clinical and care staff across its services. The charity emphasises person-centred, recovery-focused practice, and Supported Housing roles sit alongside its wider mental health, learning disability and older people's care vacancies.
