Join Us and Help Shape Brighter Futures At Depaul UK, we believe in people’s potential — and we take action every day to help unlock it. Whether you’re supporting young people directly or strengthening our organisation behind the scenes, your work will create real, lasting impact. About the Role Make a meaningful impact every weekend by supporting young people to build the confidence, skills and resilience they need for independent living. In this 8‑placement supported accommodation service, you’ll deliver focused, strengths‑based support, complete SMART outcome‑driven plans, and lead risk and needs assessments—helping clients progress with purpose while maintaining a safe and positive environment. As Young People Support Worker at our service in Islington, you’ll run one‑to‑one and group sessions, support new residents to settle in, and work collaboratively with statutory partners to provide joined‑up, personalised support.

About You You believe in people — their strengths, their rights and their potential. You bring empathy, energy and a solution‑focused mindset to your work. You communicate clearly, stay organised and adapt well in a fast‑moving environment. You’re committed to inclusion, fairness and continuous learning, and you turn values into meaningful action, whatever your role.
