Administration support worker jobs

About the role:

This is a brilliant opportunity to turn housing options into real, lasting move-on opportunities for people who are ready to take their next step away from homelessness. As PRS Access and Resettlement Officer, you will be out there opening doors: building relationships with landlords and letting agents, identifying suitable private rented sector options, and helping clients move into homes where they can build stability, independence and confidence.

Day to day, you will work closely with Single Homeless Project (SHP) caseworkers and frontline teams to identify clients who are ready to explore PRS move-on, assess affordability and tenancy readiness, support property searches, arrange viewings, liaise with landlords, and help clients navigate the practical steps needed to secure a tenancy. You will provide clear advice around housing options, welfare benefits, tenancy expectations and sustainment, while supporting colleagues to feel confident using PRS pathways as part of their move-on planning.

This is a role with real pace, purpose and impact. You will need to be creative, persistent and confident in your communication, especially when negotiating with landlords, unblocking barriers or advocating for clients who may have been let down by systems before. For the right person, this is a chance to make a tangible difference every day — creating routes into housing, strengthening partnerships and helping people move forward with dignity and hope.

There will be a mixture of working in the community (attending viewings across London), working from office and working from home. 

About you:

• You understand the barriers people can face when moving on from homelessness, and you bring the empathy, persistence and practical problem solving needed to help people overcome them.
• You have experience of housing, resettlement, tenancy sustainment, homelessness support or a similar frontline setting, with the ability to give clear, realistic advice to clients and colleagues.
• You are confident building relationships with landlords, letting agents, local authorities and partner agencies, and know how to turn conversations into opportunities.
• You can balance warmth with honest, practical conversations about affordability, tenancy readiness, rent, benefits, expectations and the responsibilities that come with a new home.
• You are organised, proactive and tenacious, able to manage competing priorities, keep accurate records and keep move-on plans moving even when barriers appear.

About us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

The role will also play a crucial role in ensuring that industrial priorities and issues are reflected and integrated in organisation-wide communications.

The Communications and Press Officer will lead on the implementation of the ITF’s global media strategy: the role is pivotal to securing media coverage that raises awareness of the work and priorities of the ITF internationally, across broadcast, print, online media and trade press, while also monitoring the media coverage we gain, evaluating impact and providing insights to help shape future media work.

The role will also be central to developing communications content across the ITF’s industrial sections, from website news stories to in-depth reports and communications support for ITF conferences, meetings and other events: you will need to be able to develop expert knowledge of policy and industrial issues facing transport workers, and effectively interpret and analyse issues and challenges and translate them into compelling and engaging communications outputs.

The role of the ITF Communications Team is to elevate our work on global issues and drive collective action to improve the rights of all transport workers.

The Communications Department leads strategic thinking around communications across the ITF’s industrial sections, global regions and key areas of focus, including women and young transport workers, sustainability, health and safety, the future of work and supply chain accountability. The scope is vast.

You’ll join a team committed to using its skills and knowledge to push the envelope for worker and people-driven change ― working to advance the ITF’s current strategic directions:

• To grow and activate our membership.
• To position the ITF at the forefront of innovative campaigning.
• To influence global and regional policy.

The team sets and delivers strategic communications, setting the creative and strategic vision for digital engagement, content production, design, branding, media relations and building stronger networks and collaboration with our affiliated unions.

This position is based at our London headquarters, though we warmly welcome applications from candidates who would prefer to work from one of the ITF's regional offices around the world; in such cases, salary and benefits will be aligned with the relevant regional office location.

The St Matthew’s Project is looking for a passionate and experienced Wellbeing and Outreach Worker to help strengthen our trauma-informed approach and support young people through our Fit 4 Life programme.

We’re looking for a proactive and compassionate individual to help grow and support Bexley’s new Direct Payment Support Service.

In this varied role, you’ll be the first point of contact for enquiries, supporting people through the PA registration process, carrying out compliance checks, and maintaining accurate records. You’ll also help keep the PA Register up to date, monitor training compliance, and ensure residents and applicants receive clear, timely support.

You’ll work closely with our partners, respond to enquiries via phone and email, triage requests, and help match people with the right support. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys organisation, problem-solving and working with people from diverse backgrounds.

We’re looking for someone with strong admin and communication skills, a person-centred approach, and the ability to manage a busy workload with attention to detail.

Join us and make a real difference to people’s independence and wellbeing in Bexley.
