Help refugees find a safe place to call home

We’re looking for a compassionate, practical person to join our Private Rented Access Service in Plymouth.

If you’re good at building relationships, staying calm when things are complex and helping people take practical steps forward, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll provide practical housing support, helping refugees understand their options, find suitable accommodation and settle into their new home. You’ll manage your own caseload and work closely with landlords, letting agents, Path colleagues and partner organisations.

About you

We're looking for someone who can:

  • Build positive and respectful relationships

  • Provide practical, person-centred support

  • Stay calm and solution-focused when situations are complex

  • Communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds

  • Manage a caseload and keep accurate records

  • Work well with colleagues, landlords and partner organisations

  • Recognise and respond appropriately to risk and safeguarding concerns

    Experience of working with refugees or housing would be helpful but isn’t essential.

Why join Path?

  • 28 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays

  • Enhanced sick and maternity pay

  • Employee Assistance Programme

  • Blue Light Card discounts

  • Cycle to Work Scheme

  • Learning and development opportunities

  • Workplace pension

  • Tickets for Good, including free and discounted event tickets
