We are seeking a dedicated and empathetic Floating Support Worker to join our Stopover Supported Housing team in Brighton & Hove.

Stopover provides the only female-specific supported housing for young women in Brighton & Hove and West Sussex. The service offers a pathway from high to low levels of support, giving young women aged 16–25 a safe and stable environment in which to rebuild their lives and move toward independence.

You will work primarily within our low-level support projects, supporting young women who have often experienced trauma, abuse, mental health challenges, and housing instability. Your role will be to build consistent, trusting professional relationships and support residents in developing confidence, life skills and resilience.

Why Join Impact Initiatives?

Support for You
We understand the emotional demands of this work, and we prioritise the wellbeing of our staff. All team members receive:

• Regular wellbeing and reflective pathway sessions with an external psychologist
• Supervision and restorative circles facilitated by external professionals
• A supportive, experienced team environment where your voice is heard

A Healthy Work-Life Balance
Our structured rota is designed to support wellbeing and predictability:

• Work 3 days on, get 1 day off
• Work 4 days on, get 2 days off
• Alternate weekends off guaranteed
• Paid sleep-in and on-call shifts included

Room to Grow
There are clear progression opportunities within the team. Many Support Workers go on to become Senior Support Workers and develop specialisms in housing, safeguarding, or youth leadership.

A Role with Real Impact
This is a varied and enriching position. No two days are the same, and the effect of your work is often visible in short timeframes. You’ll be part of a team that makes a tangible difference in the lives of young women, every single day.

We’re Looking for Someone Who Can:

• Build trauma-informed, empowering relationships with young women aged 16–25
• Support residents to access education, employment or training
• Assist with personal and emotional matters such as health, relationships, and wellbeing
• Co-facilitate life skills sessions and support group activities
• Work within safeguarding, risk management, and confidentiality frameworks
• Work flexible hours on a rota that includes evenings, weekends and sleep-ins

Who You Are:

• You have experience supporting young people or vulnerable individuals
• You understand trauma-informed care and are committed to inclusive, non-judgemental practice
• You’re emotionally resilient, calm under pressure, and a strong team player
• You’re confident using IT systems and can maintain accurate, professional case records
• You’re reliable, flexible, and passionate about improving young lives

Want to Get a Feel for the Job?

We welcome informal conversations and visits to the service. Contact Stevie Graves on 01273 603775 or stevie.graves@impact-initiatives.org.uk for a chat or to arrange a visit to our main project.
