Job vacancy: Settle and Thrive project worker in Coventry

Are you ready to walk alongside people who’ve experienced homelessness and rough sleeping—helping them take the driver’s seat in building a brighter, more connected future?

We’re looking for a Settle and Thrive project worker—someone bold, compassionate and full of hope—to join Grapevine’s Strengthening People team. You’ll be working directly with people who’ve faced trauma, addiction or isolation. Helping them rediscover their strengths, connect with others and shape meaningful lives.

  • Based in Coventry, full-time (37 hours per week)
  • Starting salary: £27,911 per year
  • 12-month contract (with potential to extend).

What you’ll be doing:

  • Supporting individuals to move beyond crisis, build confidence and lead their own journeys of change
  • Co-creating personalised plans and informal support networks
  • Designing and running creative, engaging activities that foster relationships and unlock potential
  • Acting as a trusted ally—a coach, a listener, a role model—while always empowering others to act for themselves.

What you’ll bring:

  • A gift for building trust with people who may be wary or have been let down
  • Experience supporting people with complex lives or who’ve been marginalised
  • Real understanding of poverty, disadvantage and what it takes to recover and grow
  • Creativity, flexibility and a people-first mindset
  • Confidence to share your story, listen deeply and connect, human-to-human.

You are:

  • Hopeful, curious and driven by the belief that everyone has something to offer
  • Resilient and realistic—not fazed by slow progress or messy paths
  • Brave and willing to ask for help, for yourself and others
  • A great communicator who can inspire action and bring people together
  • Someone who thrives in collaboration and values learning every step of the way.
