Want a job where your support can genuinely help someone move forward?

We're looking for a Support Practitioner to join our Renfrewshire Housing Support team, working alongside people who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of losing their home.

You'll build positive relationships, offer practical and emotional support and help people work towards the things that matter to them - from maintaining a tenancy and improving wellbeing to feeling more connected within their community.

What you'll bring

You don't need years of experience. We're looking for someone who is:

• Compassionate, respectful and approachable
• A good communicator and listener
• Organised and reliable
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
• Able to drive, as travel across Renfrewshire is an essential part of the role

Experience in homelessness or housing support would be great, but it's not essential. We'll give you the training and support you need.

About the service

We've worked alongside Renfrewshire Council since 2012, providing housing support and homelessness prevention across the area.

Our approach is simple: start with the person. We listen to what matters to them, build on their strengths and support them to make positive changes at their own pace.

We value lived experience and the insight it can bring to our teams.
