The vacancy
Could you be a Caseworker/Project Worker for vulnerable young people aged between 16 to 25 years? Could you give them the support and guidance they need to get back on their feet and live independently?
The young people we work with have become homeless for a number of reasons – isolation or mental ill health, abusive relationships, substance misuse, involvement in gangs/county lines - their issues are complex so you will need to be able to build strong, trusting relationships so that our customers feel safe and supported.
We have opportunities for Caseworkers/Project Workers at our Ofsted registered scheme in St Albans which provides temporary housing for young people who are experiencing homelessness.
A bit about the role:
As a Caseworker/Project Worker, you will be working with a team of highly motivated, compassionate, and dedicated colleagues supporting a caseload of young customers with complex needs. You’ll need to meet each customer weekly to help them with their goals and discuss their progress. And, when someone’s ready to move on, we'll rely on you to help them access the housing register or look for suitable rented accommodation.
What we’re looking for:
You may have worked with vulnerable young people in a paid or voluntary capacity, maybe as a Youth Worker or in an education setting providing pastoral care. You’re a great relationship builder, who can create trust so that our young people feel comfortable sharing their issues with you, you listen but in a non-judgemental way and you are able to spot signs for concern and act on them.
You’ll also need to be able to work on your own, sometimes dealing with challenging situations and diffusing them to avoid escalation. Is this you?
- Relationship building skills.
- Empathy
- Great listening skills
- Diplomacy and the ability to deal with challenging situations and diffuse them
- Non-judgmental
- Proactive and assertive
This role will require an Enhanced DBS check.

If so, you may be the Campaigns Officer we’re looking for!
About the role
Our Policy and Public Affairs team exists to develop evidence-based policies that we can use to help inform and influence Government and health service decisions relating to heart and circulatory diseases and research.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Campaigns Officer to join our award winning and high impact team during a very exciting time in politics. This is a new position, which will play a critical role in the development and delivery of activity aimed at getting the public involved in our flagship Hearts Need More Westminster influencing campaign.

You'll also have strong organisational skills, including experience of project management. You will have experience of using social media and other comms channels for campaigning and will think creatively about how to engage our existing supporters and attract new ones.
