Working within our Opportunities Programme, you’ll provide one-to-one psychotherapy and co-produced psychoeducation groups for young people aged 16–25. Your work will focus on prevention, helping young people make sense of their experiences and build the tools to manage life’s challenges before they reach breaking point.

You’ll be part of a multi-disciplinary team offering a psychologically informed service - collaborating closely with support staff, managers and other professionals to create safe, empowering spaces where young people can explore their emotions, relationships and aspirations. From helping someone understand the impact of trauma, racism or poverty, to facilitating group discussions on healthy boundaries and emotional regulation, your impact will ripple far beyond the therapy room.

This is a chance to use your clinical skills where they matter most - in a dynamic organisation that’s committed to growth, reflection and learning. You’ll be supported with regular supervision, access to professional development, and opportunities to shape how psychotherapy continues to evolve across SHP. Join us, and help us break cycles, ignite change and create new possibilities for London’s young people.

About you:

• You’re confident supporting both individuals and groups, and understand how group dynamics work.
• You understand the challenges young people face - especially those who’ve experienced the care system and/or experienced trauma.
• You can build trust with young people who may be wary of professionals and create a safe, supportive space.
• You value working alongside young people, involving them in shaping their own support and outcomes.
• You’re organised, communicate clearly, and committed to inclusive, anti-discriminatory practice in all you do.

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 10,000 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.
