For Job Seekers

Advice and tools to help you find your next role in the homelessness and supported housing sector.

  • Writing a strong support worker CV

    Highlight your lived experience, key skills and sector-relevant training. Focus on outcomes you helped achieve for clients, not just day-to-day duties.

  • Interview preparation

    Research the organisation's approach (Housing First, psychologically informed environments, trauma-informed care). Be ready with specific examples of boundary-setting and de-escalation.

  • Qualifications and training

    Many roles accept candidates without formal qualifications. A Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care or equivalent is valued. Ask employers about funded training pathways.
