Support Worker - Durham SHAP

Emmaus North East supports people to progress after homelessness. Learn more about our charity, our team and how we support people across our region.

From house clearances to getting involved with the wider community, we offer a wide range of services.

There are many ways you can support us, from volunteering to donating goods. Your support means that we get to carry on doing what we do best - helping those who need it most.

The Support Worker plays a key role in helping companions at Emmaus North East build confidence, develop skills, and move towards independent living, volunteering, or employment.

Working closely with the Service Manager and wider support team, the role provides structured, person-centred support through individual support plans, daily engagement, and community involvement. Support Workers help companions with personal development, identify training or support needs, and connect individuals to specialist services where required.
