Youth Support Worker

Turning Point is looking for a part-time Youth Support Worker for its Lancashire Young People supported accommodation service in Chorley. The service supports 18 young people across two sites, Parker House and The Bridge. You would help them live safely, build independence and move on successfully into the community.

What you would do:

• Manage referrals, sign-ups, support and move-on for young people
• Write and review support plans and risk assessments based on each person's needs, strengths and goals
• Help with budgeting and money management
• Give practical help with cooking, cleaning and other daily living skills, and plan moves on
• Support young people and landlords with repairs, tenancies, income and anti-social behaviour
• Keep detailed daily records and manage your own caseload
• Work with other professionals to get good outcomes for young people

Turning Point wants people with knowledge of working with young people who have complex needs, experience of homelessness, or are looked after or leaving care. An NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in social care, youth work or housing is desirable but not essential. You will need good communication skills, energy, patience and a flexible, positive attitude.

Hours are 22.5 per week. The service runs 24/7, so you need to be flexible across days, evenings and weekends. Pay is £26,780 per annum, pro rata.

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.
