This is an exciting opportunity to join Single Homeless Project (SHP) in a brand new Caseworker role at the forefront of an innovative Westminster pilot service. The HMO scheme is designed to support under 35s who have experienced rough sleeping and are ready to take the next step towards independence. As a Caseworker, you will play a key part in shaping this exciting new service, working directly with clients to secure safe accommodation, build stability and open up new opportunities for the future. From assessing suitability for the HMO service and arranging property viewings, to supporting sign-ups with landlords, you will be central to each client’s journey into their new home.

Every day will bring variety and the chance to make a tangible difference. You will guide clients through maximising their income via Housing Benefit and Universal Credit, help them register with GPs and health services, and create pathways into college and employment.

Your work will not just provide housing but help create the tools, resilience and opportunities that can transform lives.

Joining SHP means more than taking on a role; it is the chance to grow your career in an organisation that invests in its people while driving forward bold, new solutions to homelessness. This is your opportunity to be part of a pioneering service, to leave a lasting impact on Londoners’ lives, and to shape the way we work as a charity committed to ending homelessness in the capital.

• Self-motivated and resilient, with strong time management and the ability to prioritise under pressure.
• Experienced in supporting clients to increase independence, inclusion, and financial stability.
• Able to assess needs using a strengths-based, person-centred approach that recognises aspirations.
• Committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and collaborative team working.
• Knowledgeable about the causes of homelessness and pathways to secure housing and support.

About us:

Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 12,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

About the role:

Are you ready to take the reins of a service that is already making a difference and help shape its next chapter? The Gray’s Inn Road supported accommodation project in Camden offers 16 short-stay places for people moving away from the streets and has quickly become a vital part of our mission to make rough sleeping in London rare, brief and not repeated. Funded by the Department of Levelling Up Housing and Communities and the Greater London Authority, and delivered in partnership with One Housing Group and Camden Council, this service is still in its early years, giving the next Service Manager the chance to build on strong foundations and lead it into the future.

As Service Manager you will ensure the project continues to meet specification while remaining agile to local authority and organisational priorities. You will oversee referrals, move-on pathways and personalised support planning, making sure each resident receives tailored guidance that promotes independence. By leading and inspiring your team you will embed consistency, quality and responsiveness in everything from day-to-day keywork and coaching to group sessions and links with external agencies, while also managing outcomes, commissioning requirements and policy adherence to maintain the highest standards.

This is more than just a management role – it is a chance to shape the development of a young and ambitious service while growing your own career within SHP. The leadership you bring will strengthen our impact on the lives of Londoners experiencing homelessness and influence the way we respond to this challenge as an organisation.

About you:

• You will have proven experience in leading and directing teams effectively, ensuring a consistent, high-quality, and responsive service.
• Demonstrated capability in building and maintaining strong partnerships with key organisations and stakeholders in the sector.
• Experience of leading teams to deliver client focused support, including detailed assessments, onward referrals, and tailored interventions for individuals facing multiple disadvantages.
• Dedication to safeguarding vulnerable adults, ensuring the quality of risk management plans to reduce and manage risk, whilst creating opportunities to promote independence.
• Experience of embedding and managing continuous improvement in Health & Safety and Housing Management processes to maintain a safe and compliant environment for residents and staff.

About us:

Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 12,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

Join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for individuals in need.
