Youth Support Worker

Turning Point is hiring a full-time Youth Support Worker for The Mill in Leyland, part of its Lancashire Young People supported accommodation service, which supports 18 young people. Your job would be to help young people stay safe, reach their potential and build the independence they need to move on into the community.

What you would do:

• Manage referrals, sign-ups, support and move-on
• Create and review support plans and risk assessments focused on needs, strengths and goals
• Help with budgeting and run rent and service charge collection
• Give practical help with daily living skills and run weekly key-working sessions
• Support young people and landlords with repairs, tenancies, income and anti-social behaviour
• Keep detailed daily records, manage your caseload and organise activities for tenants
• Help improve how the service works, working alongside colleagues and managers

Turning Point is looking for experience with young people who have complex needs, are homeless, or are in care or leaving care. An NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in social care, youth work or housing is ideal but not essential. Experience motivating young people into education, training or work is a plus. You will need energy, strong communication skills, patience and a flexible attitude.

The role is 37 hours a week. The service runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you must be flexible across days, evenings and weekends. Pay is £26,779 per annum.

Turning Point is a not-for-profit health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England. It offers 31 days' paid holiday a year, rising with service to 33 days, with the option to buy extra holiday.

The closing date is 18 November 2026.
