About the role:

This is a leadership role with real weight — and real impact. As the Service Manager in our Shooters Hill service, you’ll lead an accommodation service supporting young people aged 16+ as they navigate housing, independence and what comes next. You’ll set the tone, hold the standards and champion a service that is safe, ambitious and unapologetically centred on young people’s strengths.

Your days will be a mix of strategy and presence. You’ll be visible in the service, backing your team to deliver consistent, high-quality, personalised support, while keeping a firm grip on housing management, safeguarding and performance. You’ll coach, challenge and develop staff to work confidently within a trauma-informed, psychologically informed environment — ensuring support is not only responsive, but genuinely empowering.

You’ll also be the connector. Working closely with local authorities, commissioners and partner agencies, you’ll make sure referrals are right, pathways are clear and move-on starts from day one. You’ll use insight, data and lived experience feedback to keep evolving the service — because standing still isn’t an option when young people are relying on us to get this right.

If you’re driven by high standards, believe young people deserve more than box-ticking support, and want to lead a service that helps them build skills, confidence and futures on their own terms — this is your moment.

About you:

• You’re an experienced manager who knows how to lead and develop staff across accommodation-based services, often spanning multiple sites.
• You bring a strong grasp of housing management, health & safety and safeguarding — and you don’t shy away from accountability.
• You’re confident working with young people facing complex challenges, using a trauma-informed, psychologically informed and strengths-based approach.
• You build credible, productive relationships with commissioners, local authorities and partners, and know how to represent a service with confidence and clarity.

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.
