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 personalised advice and practical support to people who are homeless or at risk of losing their home. This could include helping someone explore their housing options, apply for accommodation, manage their tenancy, address financial pressures or build the confidence and skills they need to live independently
You’ll manage your own caseload and meet with people at Path’s offices, in their homes and in community settings. Working alongside clients and other professionals, you’ll help people address housing issues and other needs that may affect their ability to maintain a safe and stable home.

Work independently while knowing when to seek support

Experience in housing, advice, health, social care or community services would be helpful, but it isn’t essential. We’re interested in your transferable skills, values and willingness to learn. Training and support will be provided to help you develop the specialist knowledge needed for the role.
